Last June-ish, I had a conversation on twitter about bacon. Well, this was around the time Klout was getting big in our circles. You know how most of our friends are influential about real estate or social media or something professional. I have since been influential about bacon!
Around that time, I was thinking about something to easily generate engagement. I figured that something everyone loves would do this pretty easily. Well, most people enjoy bacon. You know, unless they’re vegetarian and I’m allergic to them anyway! (j/k!) It’s a long running joke that is still funny!

I’m not sure what the national craze is about. For the record, I didn’t see the super bowl ad until after and I’m not really a fan. It was weird.

How do you make bacon better? You ADD MORE BACON!!!!

Friends are very important, as is your family. Many people have different pictures of what family looks like. My own parents divorced many years ago. Out of that, I’ve gained several good people in my life in the form of step-family.

A couple of years ago, I got the feeling that God was getting ready to begin cleaning out my life. He was to begin with the people that fostered bad habits. Over the course of 2011, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the buddies that I used to party with moved away. It was a bit tough as these were some of my best friends.

God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. – PSALM 68:6

One of my goals for 2012 is to simply spend more time with good people. It’s not to the point of ALWAYS saying yes when the opportunity arises, but I’m making it a priority. The verse was one that I received from a gal who sends out daily verses – Kendra Todd – and it was a nice reminder that He will consistently be placing me around people that I NEED (and that need me too.)

We’ve been waiting patiently for Google to allow businesses to join Google+.

Today, Vic Gundotra shared the opening.

Needless to say, this is huge for businesses.

Google is notorious for rolling things out in stages and parts. Very rarely does the public get a full on opening without a beta period and this is no exception.

A couple of the brands that are in on it today are Pepsi, Toyota, and Burberry.

A quick side note, the muppets are doing a hangout this afternoon. You know, if you’ve ever wanted to chat with Kermit, here’s your chance!

This is a notorious move by Google, again, only allowing certain people/brands to join in the beginning. Small businesses, real estate pros, etc are not yet allowed. I’ll be sure to let you know when they are!
