Over the last few weeks I have written several posts about surrounding yourself with great people.  People who make you think, and make you smile, people who challenge you, and people who pick up the pieces when others challenge you! These people will come into your life through all sorts of paths, and sometimes you just have to celebrate the fact they are there.

Today, I got a glimpse of just how many wonderful people Twitter has brought into my life.  You see, today is my birthday, and my friend @nancymyrland thought it would be the perfect excuse for a TweetUp.  It wasn’t a major landmark birthday, so no special reason for the celebration, except it sounded like fun.. and it was!  While many of the guest are long time friends and family, others are folks I had never met face to face.

But there we all were, ready to party, celebrating, life, business, friendship and birthdays with me and my good friend @edeckers ( who had a birthday this week too!)

And if you were there, and made a new friend, but didn’t get their Twitter ID, here is the list started by @kristenhorton.  I hope we have close to everyone who was there.
