I enjoy your encouragement to extend a hand and give. I feel some of my closest connections exists online. But I know some bloggers sometimes wonder if some of their online connections are based more on the idea of someone wanting something in return. It's an interesting question! Jonathan,

I used to be wary of online relationships. I used to think they were shallow and would never be real. This was years ago. I've now come to the realisation that they do work - and that you can make real friends online. I know I have - on my blogs, twitter etc. While we shouldn't give in order to get, it's really special when someone you've never met reciprocates when you've done something nice for them. It just draws you closer and makes you want to do even more. Some people online (whose blogs are bigger than mine) have seen it fit to reciprocate good things I've done for them online. This just goes to show that not everyone has forgotten where they've come from. This is such an encouragement. Definitely! I used to be wary of online relationships.

I agree that positive relationships are so very important both online and offline. Whether or not I see a person face-to-face isn't what's important. We support each other, pull together on projects together, get updates on what's going on in each others life, share our thoughts on subjects that matter to us. All of this has an impact on my life and I choose the right people to make sure that impact is a positive one. I also do my best to offer the same in return. I want to serve as someone that my friends (offline and online) can trust and depend on in many ways. One thing I've done is to make sure that my Facebook timeline is a reflection of me. I don't just have a big sea of people labeled friends. I connect with people whose positive energy, motivation and inspiration are regularly on display; and we bounce around lots of great ideas. I feel so honored to have friends like this--friends like YOU--in my corner. It's my hope that everyone will find ways to make such connections online. Thank you for being you!

Some we connect with and some we avoid. Being supportive and choosing to be inspired by instead of torn down by people is a great lesson for me.
