Why I Am Your Facebook Friend

2 Apr

Earlier this year I wrote a post on why I unfriended you on Facebook and I thought I would follow it up because I don’t want you to get the wrong idea!

My Facebook Friends

I am not one who loves to be annoyed. I don’t go on Facebook so that I can feel better about myself by reading your status updates and scoffing. No the reason why I return again (and again and again!) is because I thoroughly enjoy seeing your smile, “hearing” your laugh, and getting inspired to do better in my own personal life.

So for the following reasons, I say thank you, dear friend, for being such a great Facebook Friend:

You entertain me!
Whether you say something hilarious, share a funny video or repost humor…you always make me smile. A twinge of your sarcasm or social awareness humor is my favorite! I confess, often times I visit your page, just to giggle :)

Facebook humor

You are an Insightful, Truth Teller.
You speak so eloquently and always raise my inner-game to another level. Your pinpointed thoughts are like mental food that opens me up to a deeper level of understanding people, feelings, actions, reactions, business strengths and even weaknesses.

Facebook Insights


You share neat stuff!
Ah, I love how you turn the news feed into a playground!

You are a connector.
Not only do you discover the goodies you freely post your latest finds. This enables me to stay in the know of great resources worth checking out. I appreciate your willingness to point me in the right direction!

Facebook Connector

You bring “it” up.
Just like the whistle-blower, you point out the taboos that I have shut out and ask me — ever so gently –to wake up! I appreciate the juicy articles and studies that push me to act.

You teach me.
I learn something new every day on Facebook thanks to you.

You make me a better person.
With each post you give a glimspe into what truly connects us…our humility and humanity towards one another!

Inspiring Person

I am so grateful to know each of you. It is a pleasure to take a deep breath in the day and see you and your status in my stream ;)

    Nice. Now I have more reasons then just telling someone “I’m here to play a game.” Thanks. :)

      Thanks for your comment Stuart! I’m glad that you have even more reasons to “play” on Facebook. ;)

      Thanks Mama Ellie! I am so glad for the internet–if we didn’t have it, we’d have expensive house phone bills! Hope all is well in Cali?!

    I really appreciate this. I’m a bit of a Facebook “addict” but it has really been an amazing way for me to reconnect, share ideas, get business out there. I’m working my best to have a team of like-minded individuals who enrich each other. If used right, it is an amazing tool for self-expansion and growth!
