Positive Thursday: 8 Extraordinary Women To Follow on Twitter

8 women dream on twitter

Happy Positive Thursday!

I hope you guys are having amazing weeks. I’ve been jam-packed busy with work and the new place, but I’m doing well. Last week, I wrote a post titled, Positive Thursday: A Guide to an Extraordinary Life and explained:

Living the extraordinary life means seizing opportunities when they are presented, being passionate about what you love, enjoying the people you are surrounded by.

Living the extraordinary life means sharing your journeys with others, in hopes that they might learn and grow from your battles.

One way that I’ve “surrounded myself with people I enjoy” is through social networking. Until recently, I hadn’t met any of the 8 Women Dream bloggers.

I haven’t met a lot of people that read my blog or that I follow on Twitter. Twitter is a fantastic resource for getting inspired, motivated and encouraged to live life and pursue your dreams. In this week’s short post, I have compiled 8 Women Dreamers to follow on Twitter to get your daily dose of joy and inspiration.

I’ve selected women who use their social networking sites as an outlet to express their own feelings, but more importantly to help others. These tweeters use their 140 characters strategically to set words of wisdom and motivation to their followers.

The list is below and I’ve selected five tweets for each person to give you a snapshot of what each woman is all about.

  • Success tip: When you change your default mode from fear to gratitude unlimited possibilities will appear
  • Go do the #1 thing you need to accomplish today and watch the week unfold with splendor. Set the tone now.
  • Remember you automatically lose if you don’t even try. Be brave and follow your dream.
  • No one can make you feel anything without your permission. Therefore, act don’t react.
  • There are tons of people on Twitter who use their influence to encourage others; so feel free to send them my way. I love getting little doses of encouragement in my Twitter feed.

    Hopefully you enjoy their tweets as much as I do.

      I was introduced to your positive Thursday writings by one of my roommates. I like your positive spin on everything. You must be very fun to be around. Thanks for the lift. I guess I should join Twitter. I didn’t realize you could find inspiration there instead of just nonsense and celebrity gossip.

      Great write-up. These are certainly an impressive list of women but where are all the women of 8 Women Dream? Are any of them on Twitter besides you?

    • http://www.aweekinthelifeofaredhead.com Catherine Hughes, Editor & Chief

      Great list. I once interviewed with Marci Shimoff to be her personal assistant. I think it must be a very small world. I love listening on Twitter, so I completely agree with your list. Twitter can be a great resource for inspiration and knowledge — not to mention making new connections.
