		<description>Hi Jason:  Your projects sound interesting, especially your grandmother&#039;s diary.  I remember when I was in high school and working on a family tree project, my grandmother shared a lot of information and stories.  I still remember that summer day sitting in her driveway on folding chairs.  It was pretty mesmerizing and very cool to learn about the family.  I&#039;m interested in hearing more on your other project, as well.  Thanks for stopping by and sharing!</description>

		<description>This is really a great story Tim.  Thanks for sharing it.  I have two projects I am starting very soon.  One next week as a matter of fact.

The first is called &quot;My Grandma&#039;s Blog&quot;.  My grandmother left a lifetime of diary when she passed.  I&#039;ve been wanting to go through her life and learn about her.  &quot;Grandma&#039;s Blog&quot; is me sharing her life with my readers.  Should be pretty cool and the rest of the family will get access to her life in the process.

I will be releasing the details on the other project very soon.  I&#039;m really stoked about this and should be clarifying the details over the weekend.  Once I have everything panned out I&#039;ll let you know what&#039;s going on.  I&#039;d love to give you an opportunity to help me out with the project if you like it.

Again, great post and I look forward to coming back.

		<description>Hi Ryhen:  Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, you&#039;re certainly welcome here.  Since starting this blog, I have become friends with several people and I can say it has been a very rewarding experience for me.  Thanks for your good words about the interview, as well...her project was certainly ambitious and I felt good that I was able to share her story.  I popped by your site and was impressed with some of your content and subject matter...I&#039;m all for increasing the size and strength of my synapses.  I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll be back.</description>

		<description>Hi Tim,

I hope you welcome strangers like me on your blog. Like Maria, I&#039;m just trying to make new friends. It&#039;s such a coincidence that I came across this article because I recently made it my objective to visit as many blogs as I can every single day and establish as many friendly relationships as possible. I do have friends in the physical world, but I find that meeting people on the internet is much less stressful. 

Anyway, I think your interview with Maria was great. I&#039;ll probably won&#039;t be able to do something like that in real life, but it&#039;s sure is a fun thing to do here in cyberspace. =)

Cheers,
Ryhen

		<description>Hi Nadia:  Yeah, there&#039;s so much non-verbal communication we give off before we even say a word.  It sounds like you are a people magnet too, which is great.  It seems that approachability, which Scott &quot;the nametag guy&quot; Ginsberg talks/writes about a lot (see blogroll) and Maria mentioned in her story, is king.  While we might not want to wear a nametag every day like Scott, we could keep the friendly attitude that we often have when we wear the nametags.  Thanks for sharing and have a great week!</description>

		<description>Hi Tim,

Thank you for continuing the talk with Maria and sharing it with all of us. I loved how she said that body language plays a part in meeting people. I have found that to be true too.

As for your question, I just go with the flow and wherever I am, I talk to whomever I meet. I have made a lot of friends just by being out and about in the world. So many people are looking for friendship. There is a lot of loneliness out there.

		<description>Hi Lori:  Thanks for stopping by and sharing...one of my closest friends is a lot like you in the way that she can go out and meet people easily.  I think that is not just a skill but also a gift.  I&#039;ve gotten better at this through the years and I&#039;m very thankful for this.  But I was flashing back to when I was younger (especially my teens) and I was a tall, skinny kid who spent a lot of time riding buses and trains throughout the city by myself.  Part of my defense mechanism was to tune people out when I encountered difficult, crazy or confrontational people.  When I did this, people left me alone.  I would call this defense through extreme non-confrontation ;)  I agree with you about people and their stories and our world getting smaller through our connections. Thanks for sharing this great comment and have a great weekend!

Lance:  Thank you as well for sharing your insight and appreciating these stories, too.  I was blown away, as well, to learn that two of her friends got married...makes me realize how interconnected we are.  I remember a couple years ago I connected two people in my network for a business opportunity...something that would help both people.  It was a rush to bring them together.  Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!</description>

		<description>Like Part 1, this whole story is something I find completely fascinating.  Especially the idea that there was someone new every day!  And then to think that two of these people got married...two people who would have never met - wow!  Our world (and really her people) are so, so amazing!  And all these stories are deeply good to read.

		<description>Hi Tim and Maria,

I&#039;ve taken in both installments (Part 1 and Part 2) with hungry eyes. Great questions, Tim, I really enjoyed this feature.

Coming from a farming background, I learned to be comfortable talking with whomever happened our way - including waving at those passing by in cars or on motorcycles. It was just assumed that when you pass, you wave, say hello, or even stop by to ask about the farm or how things were going - even with complete strangers. Dad would strike up a conversation EVERYWHERE he went with WHOMEVER - thus, to this day, I have no trouble meeting people or striking up a conversation with people I&#039;ve never met prior.

I found it interesting that most people approached Maria, as opposed to the other way around. I think Maria&#039;s point is important - a lot has to do with body language. I agree.

The other reason I really enjoyed this interview - and Maria&#039;s project, is that I truly believe everyone has interesting stories to tell - it&#039;s the human experience! I think her message is a very good one - and my take home is that truly everyone has a great story. And, the more we can connect with others, the smaller the world becomes.

Thanks for this, Tim. And, thanks for sharing your stories, Maria. Best to you both!
