Connections

When I say connections I'm not just talking about networking connections like "hey give me a call when you're ready to launch that product, I've got connections..." or having profiles on Facebook, Digg, MySpace etc. What I'm talking about is that personal connection you can have with another person or with an activity. What or who do you feel a connection with?
I've felt a connection to several people the last few weeks: Peter J. Sucy an amazing photographic artist from New York (check out his site!), Deb Neuman of "Back To Business" and Andrea Beaudoin - Creating Change Lifecoaching. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to sit down and talk to each of these individuals recently. Connections are that way. You meet people all the time, literally every day at the store, the post office, on the phone... but you don't always have a personal connection like a shared viewpoint or vision, a similar childhood experience, a shared birthday :). Humans are hardwired to have personal connections with others and we should nurture them and reach beyond our comfort zone to seek these opportunities for connections out.
A connection can also be experienced with your work (career or charity type work). You'll know you have a connection when it doesn't feel like work, when you experience joy when you sit down, gear up, wake up, tune in or whatever you do- the time will fly, you will be enjoying yourself, the creative ideas will flow, the atmosphere will be one of free flowing ease and it will NOT feel like work at all.
I recommend to anyone, find a connection daily its good for the soul! :)
