We had a great WEB event last evening!  I can’t tell you how delighted we are with the Yugma web-based platform - so easy to use that even those of us who are still a wee bit technologically challenged can manage it easily.

We tested our CONNECTWORKING format and with the minor changes we’ve made, it works beautifully.  It proves that web-based networking (virtual connections for building business to the next level) does work.

When I return from a trip west and cruising to Alaska, we’ll plan more of these events.  We’ll use them for information-sharing; eduational opportunities and just plain engaging each other for our mutual growth.

Virtual connections do work!  Last week, I connected with a fellow 2nd half of life traveler through an article she wrote.  I loved what Kathy Holmes had to say and copied it into our blog and let Kathy know I had done so! 

That started the ball rolling on making a new friendship that hopefully will enrich each of us personally, but also professionally.  I’ve learned she’s from the northwest coast of the U.S. and loves the Pacific (as do I)!  Our numerous email connections are now blossoming into a time to share via phone.

Had it not been for the power of the internet and our ability to linkup with women anywhere in the world - I would never have had this opportunity!

Our paths would never have crossed.  And her rich history might never be accessible to our growing community of women traveling through the 2nd half of life!

In my ‘book’, that would have been a pity!

She’s joined us here in the AWP community and you’ll find more of her ‘aging with attitude’ articles on the AWP Blog as we exchange mutual wisdoms!

Back to the main subject of this post - the POWER of the TOOL!  The Yugma tool is just one way we have for connecting at AWP and as we continue to grow and add WEB-BASED events, our hope is that more of you will join us!

And if you’re an AWP neighbor because you have a business to grow - then you’ll want to access the TOOL and use its POWER as a means to take business to another level.

That’s all for this post.  It’s a full week - with getting ready to leave on Sunday and all that entails.  But I’ll post again before the day is out AND I’m looking forward to more from Peg Stookey.

Have an AWESOME afternoon!
