Happy New Year

We meet so many friends on cyberspace and even whether we have the means or not, we're not always extending an olive branch. Since I join social media, specifically facebook in 2008 I met so many people on cyberspace, but how many of them did I really meet and greet, only a few I would say, so what is the purpose of cyberspace or social media then, I know we have safety concerns but I want to believe that not everyone is a predator.

The best part of social media for me is the instant interaction, the sharing of information, the welcoming, the praise, the competition. I must admit that throughout this few years on cyberspace I've build relationships, that is spreading and sharing God's word, sharing and sparing a thought on actual events, sharing information, becoming a intercessor during prayer requests, a word of encouragement here, a quote there. I've also met likeminded individuals on both facebook and twitter.

I must admit to sign in to social media become an addiction and with so many followers on your timeline you cannot always interact with everyone. I however try to interact as often as possible as Blackberry made it possible for a 24hour online presence. I also make it a point to respond as fast as I can on twitter/DM or facebook/inboxes depending on relevance. It was a sad day to sign on only to hear that one of the guys I've interacted regularly with had passed on.

I was filled with mixed emotions as I might have had the opportunity to meet with the person in person but failed,Dante Bello made me realize even more that tomorrow is NOT promised to ANYONE. His last words on social media was: God Has Been Faithful... So I am Grateful...and #MyEyeOpeningLessonIn2011 - Becareful who you ask for help or share your problems with - B E V E R Y C A R E FU L. I was a follower of his work online Dante Bello was indeed a poet. Reading his blog gives so much insight "http://t.co/Pigsd7TR"

A lesson for 2012 would be not to procastinate, if we say we'll meet let's meet because tomorrow might be too late. A colleague of mine once said: "It's not the pace of life that concerns me. It's the sudden stop at the end."

With this in mind, wishing ALL of you a prosperous leap year!

SO many questions - SO little answers...
