Sticking My Toe in the Water

This month in my Tell Me Somethin' Good! e-newsletter I encouraged readers to make some commitments in 2009. One of the specific suggestions I made was learning something new. Now, for those of you who wonder if I actually do what I suggest to others, the answer is yes. I'm not perfect at it, but I certainly make an effort. After all, if it makes good enough sense to suggest it to others, I'd be a fool to not give it a shot.

For me, I made a commitment to learn more about social networking. I've had many people ask me why I don't have a Facebook page. I always answered the question with a typical response: I'm too busy. But quite frankly, it probably had to do with the fact I hadn't tried it and needed to learn how the whole process works. So yesterday, I stuck my toe in the water of social networking and created a Facebook page. While a part of me feels like I'm one of the last people to get to the dance, it's been amazing to be able to open a line of communication with people I haven't seen in years.

So that's my effort at learning something new. I still have a few more in 2009, but it's a start. What commitment are you willing to make to learn something new?
