So Grateful Saturday
July 24, 2010My sister and I:

Things to be grateful for today:
1) Summertime Saturday’s spent sleeping in. (Wow, try and say that five times fast).
2) Yummy fruits and veggies from the farmer’s market. (We bought cherries, peaches, snap peas, lettuce, zucchini, and corn this morning! Can you say scrumptious salad?!)
3) Witnessing the sun set while running along trails.
4) The smell of freshly cut grass.
5) The opportunity to comfort and love on the kiddos at Vanessa Behan. Once a week for three hours. Go check it out here.
You should also check out The Influence Project.
This project started with a simple question: Who are the most influential people online right now?
From The Influence Project’s Website:
“That’s what The Influence Project is designed to answer. By participating, you will have your picture appear in the November issue of Fast Company magazine as part of an amazing photo spread. The more influence you demonstrate, the bigger your picture will be.
You may discover that you’re more influential than you think.
Influence is not only about having the most friends or followers. Real influence is about being able to affect the behavior of those you interact with, to get others in your social network to act on a suggestion or recommendation. When you post a link or recommend a site, how many people actually bother to check it out? And what’s the likelihood of those people then forwarding it on? How far does your influence spread?
This is the type of influence we’re looking for. We want to find the most influential person online.
Who knows? It might even be you.”
I’m curious as to how this project will turn out. What about you? Click on the link and try it yourself. (:
