		<description>Oh Havi, thank you. I sort of fell in love with those words after I wrote them. They are what we are.
I may just have to write a blog post.</description>

@Mahela - speaking of love ... &quot;your whole noble messy self&quot; is the most beautiful phrase in the entire world. Thank you for that!</description>

		<description>I was sitting in a meeting today at a conference where there was networking and all the sticky stuff and I kept repeating in my head that I would find my Right People and to be open and be ok.  And I thank you for that.  I did miss my Twitter terribly though :)

		<description>Thank you so much for going deeper into these questions. (and also for responding to my tweet after the call.) All good.

There *were* a gazillion questions a second. What continues to delight me is, almost all the answers were Love. Love &amp; trust your whole noble messy self. Trust your light will help your Right People find you. Your thing is the beautiful quality that&#039;s in your heart.

Thank you, Havi.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m pretty sure I have it written down in a couple places that &quot;I am a multitude.&quot; As it turns out, this is easy to forget, and I go and jam myself into whatever box seems most respectable, or impressive, or just plain shiny. This thing in my heart - it&#039;s really enough, isn&#039;t it? Thanks for the reminder Havi.

Pertaining to Twitter, I think @Pistachio might be onto something when she talked about it making her a better person. What I am already convinced of though is that it&#039;s a hella fun place to be (second thanks to you for your magical demystification powers).

I also second Mark&#039;s proposal of hanging out. Dunno if Mark&#039;s idea of a good time involves non-higher-self shouting at roller derby, but it sure as heck is mine :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been kind of hugging the concept of &quot;right people&quot; since I encountered it, oh, must be ten days ago now. The idea that I can just &lt;i&gt;be myself&lt;/i&gt; and connect with people who like how I am, rather than trying to shoehorn myself into [what I perceive as] the shapes others expect of me, is intensely liberating. Thank you for this.</description>

		<description>you were right (said with that face my kid gets when she says it to me)

And I&#039;m loving it, too. 

Actually, the one thing that annoys me about it is people who are all business-y and only seem to tweet to promote something.

I much prefer all the discussions about the weather. And those weird things @MitchBenn does with movie titles and stuff (he&#039;s a UK comic; v. funny). And what people are having for lunch.

And then all the people who helped me figure out what printer I needed. Or reminded me that on my list of things to bring to the conference was water and comfortable shoes.

And whatever Ezra sells I&#039;ll promote. Just look at how he talks about baking bread. Cool little brother you&#039;ve got there.

		<description>Great post, Havi.

The reason I&#039;m hanging out here is that I have this amazing, A-ha! idea that just birthed a few weeks ago after two years of incubation.

Suddenly, it was there and bang! I gave birth to a business idea about creativity coaching for non-arty farty people and creative ethnography for business clients using my anthropological skills. And then I realised that I&#039;m good at all kinds of other things (like being a fitness instructor for 20 years and being a published author) and I could probably incorporate these skills in this business as well.

And now!

This idea has just grown a life of its own, even if I&#039;m not really ready and there&#039;s only the shadow of a product/service. I&#039;m a bit unsure of where to go with it, but hey, I&#039;ll hang out here and keep Twittering (@Amanda467) about it and I&#039;m sure it will keep tugging me along.

Although, any suggestions, advice, help are extremely welcome in the hours and weeks after birth.

		<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://fluentself.com/images/blog/ducks/Selma_tinyW.png&quot;&gt; Hey guys! 

It&#039;s so lovely having you all around, I can&#039;t even tell you. 

@Victoria - I&#039;m glad I bullied you into it too. Thought you&#039;d never listen to me! :)

@Eileen - yes that&#039;s a lovely way of looking at it. The only strategy you need is to spend time with yourself and your heart ... and then everything will come (or not) from there and it&#039;s not as stressful and &lt;em&gt;ohmygodwhatifthisisallwrong&lt;/em&gt;. Yay. 

@james parker - *blows kiss* 

Thank you!

@Kimm - man, you are so right about that. That&#039;s a really useful point and it also helps make the whole thing less stressful. Love it. 

@Chris Anthony - I&#039;m so glad. 

Couldn&#039;t have better people to hang out with online. It&#039;s really, really lovely.</description>
