It's amazing who you can meet on Twitter. I've met Event Professionals from around the world, and down the street.

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly Button in person. Kim is known as @getgreenbewell on Twitter, and we connected a few weeks ago. To be honest, I had no idea where Kim lived... until she sent me a direct message. We quickly found out that we live minutes from each other, attend the same church, and have several friends in common! We met for coffee, and really hit it off.

Kim had serious health problems growing up, and believes many of them were caused by pesticides in her home. She has a passion for talking with people about how to choose the right cleaners, foods, and disinfectants, to be as safe as possible. The amazing thing is that she does it with a smile, without scaring people. It's just great information, and she has a passion for passing it on. Check out www.getgreenbewell.com, to learn more about her company, Green Well.

Our conversation energized me, and I look forward to seeing her again. Anyone who says Twitter is a waste of time isn't using it properly, it's a great way to meet people around the world... and in your own backyard.

  1. Thanks, Carrie! It was a pleasure meeting you too! The world is a big place, and it's amazing that you can connect through online resources like Twitter! Same town, same church, yet we probably wouldn't have met any other way. These are the unique challenges of the 21st century!
