Be Fit With Biray

Last week, I presented at the National Wellness Conference in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. While checking my regular Twitter feeds, I came across @jodyNwellness who had just started following me a few days prior to my departure. After checking out her tweet-feed, I decided to follow her, too.

Because of my crazy schedule, I had to miss the first 3 days of the week-long conference. The morning of my flight, I noticed a tweet from @jodyNwellness regarding a session she was attending, presented by Mary Miscisin. I wasn’t sure, but I asked if she was at the conference (and she was) and mentioned that I’d be there later that day. She gave me the scoop on the tech landscape of the area (wifi connection status, etc). And eventually we agreed we should meet once I arrived!

Jody introduced herself during one of my activity sessions on ‘exergaming’. It turned out, she had already planned on attending a few of my sessions (so I suppose we would’ve met, eventually).

We hung out at breakfast and quickly realized how much we had in common. We were both into health/wellness and technology (and quite possibly the only two using Twitter at the conference – LOL!). I guess Twitter works in mysterious ways. Not only did it make my experience at the conference more engaging, but I also made an awesome new friend!
