But with that said, I have to tell you that the REAL value is in the relationships that you can build.  If you are not taking time to connect and truly get to know your followers, then you are missing the bigger picture.  I have met some of the most amazing people, and formed relationships that I know will last a life time.   I’ve met people who have incredible stories to tell, and gifts to share with the world.  People who have discovered their passion and life’s purpose, and are living their lives as examples for other’s to follow. 

Today I’d like to introduce you to one of those special Twitter Friends.  His name is Dan Hays (or @DanLHays on Twitter).  If you are not already following him, go and do it right now. Dan and I connected because we are both big fans of Dr. Robert Anthony. It’s amazing what the universe will use to bring people together, isn’t it? Anyway, when Dan and I first spoke on the phone there was an immediate connection and I quickly realized that Dan was someone very special. You see, Dan is the author of the book, Freedom’s Just Another Word. You can get a copy of his book on Amazon, and I put the link below.    But here is what one of the reviewers wrote:

“FREEDOM’S JUST ANOTHER WORD is a riveting memoir, chronicling the Author’s journey toward discovery, self-discovery, an honest faith and ultimately freedom – through confronting the fear and pain in the truth of an abusive past. His courage and determination led him to find healing and the ability to forgive and move forward to reclaim his life. “

As you can probably already see, Dan is an amazing individual who has had the courage to write about his personal struggle and share his deepest thoughts and feelings with his readers.  I sense that Dan has discovered that hidden beneath the disguise of the fear and painful events in his life is the powerful knowing of what is wanted and truly important.  This powerful asking is the first step in the conscious creation of the life of our dreams.

It is my pleasure to call Dan my friend, and to recommend that you connect with him on Twitter and pick up a copy of his book for your collection.
