Great lunch with NEW social media friends that I have met through @Ann Evanston’s Social Networking Coaching Club! It was gratifying to meet these people in person because I felt I already knew them, had talked with them for months online and even knew what their faces looked like! New friendships expanding…

Like love, friendship is not an absolute. There are shades from the pastel color of a new friend to the deep purple hues of a loving friend for whom you would risk your life. Loving others as I love myself is a tall order and the only order that renders ecstacy in my soul.

I suspect that is why we bother to seek friendship. Social media is yet another way we can allow this exploration of friendship…from the deep purple to the nice pastel that gives comfort on a lonely day.

What has been your ‘friendship’ experience online? Any ‘deep purple’ developments? I’d love to know.
