I've had a Twitter epiphany! A fellow blogger declares her weekly Twitter and blog awards, which I think is a very good idea. I think we can take this idea a bit further though, and would like to start my own Local Hero awards. I have been networked into a couple of local to Godalming networks, and I hope these networks will become stronger.
So, as a start to my Local Hero (Twitter) awards, and not to be confused with Community Heroes at Surrey Life magazine, I nominate the following :
@SurreyLife for a great magazine which promotes our wonderful county
@Puppy_Views for amusing cocker spaniel tweets and because today is #happyfursday
@HypnotherapySy because what he does is very important
@claz0r for her charity undertaking this year
Of course, there are Local Heroes not on Twitter or blogging, and we shouldn't forget them even though I can't name them here. I have chosen to post this here because it's part of moving on from bereavement. Believe or not, I have found some wonderful characters on Twitter, real people with genuine talent and kindness. They and others are a constant reminder that keeping people close to you is important. And just as important, is making new friends and developing new networks.
You might have your own Local Heroes, can you nominate someone from one of your networks? I'd love to hear your choices.
