How Pinterest is changing my perspective

There has been a lot of chatter about Pinterest in our team threads. So, being the techno genius that I am, I decided to check it out and join. My first impression was, why do I need so many boards, am I really going to pin so many things? Where do I find all these great photos? So I decided to revisit my favorites list. And I must admit I ♥'ed many things during the past year. What a new perspective it has given me. I had truly forgotten all the wonderful items in that listing. It made me remember how beautiful I thought each individual item was and why it touched me. My life has many challenges at this stage of mature citizenship. And I was leaving all that beauty behind, forgotten.....Well, needless to say, I am up to 18 boards and having a blast. All my favorite things just make me feel warm inside and relaxed. As a few team members have now followed me, I have had a lot of their pictures to review as well. We have a very diverse team. We all have our own perceptions of what beauty is and the form that it takes. Our team has had some rough spots here lately. But overall, I have now discovered we have a lot more in common than I initially thought. Pinterest is truly changing my perspective. I've added my pinterest link to my blog. Take a look and join the fun.

  6. I found myself "sucked into pinterest" several times this week. I have decided to use it only as a tool for the things I truly like, at the end of the day its fun to open it up and see the different facets of me...I've made many storyboards as an interior designer in the past and this is such a fun way to collect all of my favorite things--I recommend this site for sure!

  9. What a nice post! I joined the other day when it was having "server problems" so I really couldn't explore it much. I hope to get to it this week and play around with it!

  10. I find it really interesting that this site could change your perspective so much. That is great!!!
    I am trying to see what the buzz is about but find myself struggling to see it. Don't get me wrong I like the site, but I don't see a huge difference between any of the other social networking and bookmarking sites.
    Something I will just have to give more time too.
