Meet this connection with incredible energy! 🔥 I had the pleasure of meeting her IRL! For dinner and tea (Yes, I'm a tea lover too!) 😜 DIANE and I spoke on Zoom a few months back. I had no idea she's been following me for about a year on LinkedIn. Found that out yesterday. Said my content resonated with her. Hearing that left a big smile on my face. We (you and I) will never know the true impact we'll have on someone. We may think that what we're doing/saying is no biggie, but to others, it's a BIG deal. You may think no one is watching, but they are. People don't need to comment or like a post to see or feel your value. They still engage by reading and listening. When they come back, it's because they're gaining value from what you're doing. The same applies to community building. When you create and build an inclusive space that's warm and inviting, a space to belong, to connect with no judgments, no labels, and no negativity... People will more than likely come back. How can you do this? By accepting people as they are, By embracing their journeys and stories, By allowing people to share their interests, and their talents/skills. Show people that they're part of the bigger picture. What Diane doesn't know is that she made an impact on me with her words. Almost left me in tears. (I get mushy, can't help it) To build community is to be people-centered. Community lies at the heart and center of your people. 💜 Without them, there is no true community.

What you choose to do every day will have an impact on someone. Make it count.

Funny Story: We asked the waiter to take our pic. He thought we said, we wanted a pic of him, so he stood there and posed. Diane and I giggled, and kindly said that we wanted a pic of ourselves, but if he wanted to join the pic, he was more than welcome. 😂

I love that she followed you for so long before letting you know. I had an experience this year with someone like this. And when I finally saw that she had liked a post of mine and checked out her profile, I was floored that she had been in my world so long and I didn't know it. I knew immediately when I met her that we were long lost best friends! Right, Autumn Wade?!? 💛 Also I LOVE Diane's sweatshirt! I need one of those!
