About Face |
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, it's that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Ask instead, who are you not to be? Follow me on Twitter @bcavanaugh or take a moment to see what made me do an about face with my career: My New Gig |

When you care enough to say the very best, say it with Twitter. A DM from Denny Rehberg this morning was better than an FTD bouquet.
I’m here to say that this Congressman totally gets it. On Wednesday, I wrote a heartfelt, engaging letter to Montana Congressman, Denny Rehberg asking him to follow more Montanans and fewer political-types. My friends at New West liked the spirit of it so much, they gave me a byline Thursday, and it inspired Twitter friends like @ManifestPhil to write another great piece on his blog. Some thought I was being hard on him, but many around the country applauded my observations in general on the topic. I had great conversations with @geoffliving about Government 2.0 and the transparency we can have and should expect from these new tools.
I was surprised and absolutely giddy to find a DM from @DennyRehberg in my TweetDeck at 5:44 this morning. It read:
»»”Thanks for all the advice. I know I have a lot to learn. Big day on the hill yesterday with the budget, but headed home now.” @Denny Rehberg
I knew he had had a big day battling the budget, because I read his press releseases on his informative website. Of course I Tweeted back a thank you and a request for him to follow me so that I can DM him and I got another Tweet.
»»”Yup, will do. Sitting on the plane home now, but will have some time to add and subtract names this weekend. After hugging fam.” @Denny Rehberg
As you know from reading my blog, I’m proud to be a Montanan. Always have. We’re a smart, pioneering, hearty (it sknowed 6 inches at my house last night) bunch. But today, what I’m most proud of is that our representatives really do represent us, they reflect the kind of people we are — hard working, family-focused, thrifty, lifestyle-possessed, neighborly and not to mention pretty tweet-savvy. ;-)
I hope youre #followfriday is as fulfilling as mine!
