It's all about people again.

I'm loving this whole new wave of "social media" - the internet is all about people again. People connecting and being transparent. I'm excited. 

Although when i started on facebook and twitter i was skeptical, I am now (publicly) announcing my approval. I have developed real business relationships, been inspired, learned ALOT. I am only 1 degree away from connecting with people who are experts in their fields. I have hundreds of speaker friends who keep me motivated and make me feel like part of something. 

It's about people again. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO. 

TEN DAYS - TEN TIPS - day nine

TEN DAYS - TEN TIPS - day five

Count your blessings..

Well the storm has mainly past and we got off very lightly thanks to it's lack of organization - see that could be a good thing. 

We just drove around the city - had to go and check on some businesses for a friend and it's more or less the same story everywhere. Tree limbs down, lots of branches everywhere, a few signs, we saw one building with damage but mainly the place is just messy - like a hurricane just came through. 

Houma and Morgan City got hit pretty hard, they took the brunt of this and I'm sure in the coming hours and days we will hear stories that will touch all of us.

Tonight, wherever you are just look around at what you have, not what you don't have and count those blessings.

The storm has officially been downgraded according to some sources.. and that's a good thing - now if someone could tell the storm. 

We just heard trees crashing down from next door, looks like it's just limbs though, We lost electricity but like the internet, within a few minutes it was back.. that's just confusing. But I'm not asking any questions. 

I just called my Mum to reassure here.. when I told her there was a curfew in effect from 8pm tonight (because you can't see downed trees and power lines at night) she replied.. "Oh dear, so what are you planning to do tonight" - she really is a highly intelligent wonderful woman (i'm just portraying her as a sweet old dear)

Blowing in the wind.. the saga continues.

What do people do during a hurricane?

The answer at the moment in Lafayette. 

FACEBOOK.

(oh and blogging i guess)

We're back !

Don't quite understand how but we now have TV and internet again.. strange. Must have just been a blip. 

This sums it up. Our TV.

We still have power though. Hundreds of thousands don't. Would have my fingers crossed but I can't type that way.

Update

We have now lost Internet so I'm posting from my iPhone -we have video but can't get it online at the moment. Winds are very powerful but we are completely safe. I'm off to put the kettle on.
