Why Tweet?
Last weekend at intensive, we did a journaling exercise in Creativity and Right Livelihood class. We built up through the questions, "What do I consider my personal identity?" and "What are my core competencies?" to the ultimate question of, "What is my purpose?" Yes, that general. Purpose. By the time I go to that question, I knew exactly what to write, so I quickly wrote down my response and shut my notebook.
Simple as that. Funny, though... It only occurred to me the next day that this is exactly why I love Twitter so much. It's one giant conversation, all about learning and sharing. At least it is the way I use it most of the time. I mine it for links and retweet what I find interesting. I only wish I could be more judicious about who I follow...

Beth,
I love this. From what I know of you over this past year, your purpose is totally consistent with who you are in the world. I also appreciate the light you shed for me on the higher uses of Twitter: if I can use it to learn and to share, than bring on the tweets!!
