Get out and meet up!

women meeting crop2I’m sitting at a “meet-up group.” Three weeks ago I would have had no earthly idea what that was, but now I’m here at Whole Foods with a diverse group of people who have one common interest–Wordpress blogs. We have:

  • a realtor, who it blogging “At Home Around Austin” showcasing fun things to do around town
  • an eating coach-it’s all about knowing WHAT to eat
  • a “reverse auction-eer” – it’s the reverse of EBay, the lowest bidder wins
  • “The Heart Listener” who works with Over-50 Women who have been so busy with their careers and find themselves now desiring soul mates
  • a “time management coach” who teaches people how to gain control of their daily schedules
  • an “energy transformation” facilitator – remove your “negative blocks”
  • the meet-up coordinators who teach people like me how to market themselves through online marketing

Wow! Talk about fascinating! That’s what having freedom-after-50 has given me. I can connect with people who have like interests–everything from blogging to learning Italian to learning how to eat right when I eat out. It’s all about going beyond my “comfort circle,” which energizes me every time I venture out.

Austin has over 900 groups to choose from, and if you don’t find your particular interest, you can start your own! Hundreds of cities all around the world have their own meet-up directories. Just plug in your zip code and start meeting up!
