Imagine heading straight into four or five massive walls of water. This 68 year old man braved the tsunami to save his boat so he could help his village after the destruction. His was the only boat for 20 days after the earthquake to ferry people and supplies. Stories like this give us hope.

WOW!  My friends and I are planning a charity road trip to share the solutions by telling the stories of caring volunteers and organizations across America. We’re focusing on the good news, not the tragedies. Imagine a mayor’s gatekeeper telling one of America’s top people of influence they can’t meet with the mayor.

Perhaps the Influence Project is a “popularity contest” instead of a true gauge of Influence. In reality, SEO practices twist online reality everyday. Just Google my first name “Jeanette” and you will see me near the top of all the Jeanette’s (Jeanette Fisher). I may be known in some circles, but I’m not a celebrity like Cher or Madonna.

The only reason I want to be “Popular” or “Influential” is to bring about world peace for our grandchildren. This mission keeps me going when I would rather stay home watching TV instead of driving to LA and back to network. If I could give all my money to a peace charity that makes a difference, that would be so much easier.

Tweet Me Right Road Trip’s journey, a small step towards changing thought and reality for the better, inspires people and communities to work together helping care for one another. Love leads to peace, which gives joy.

Please, click patiently on the link below to help me spread the good news and make a difference in this wonderful world.

I’ve been locked out of my blog since October. Nine months and no baby to show for it!

After “tweeting my life away” for almost four years, it’s wonderful to be able to ignore the amount of characters typed. Makes me wonder if Twitter has changed my writing… hmmm, I could read my old blogs and see.

Some of you may know I was tweeting my grief away with the loving support of friends I made on Twitter. Mostly, I didn’t talk about the passing of my daughter and husband.

My husband was fixing up a 1940 Studebaker for our daughter to use as a wheelchair vehicle. We thought Sara would like a fun car instead of a van. Although she loved watching her dad work on the car, Sara never got to ride in the Studie.

This is the story of some of the ideas concocted during my blogging hiatus.

For a few years, I’ve owned TweetMeRight.com, without a real plan of what to do with the domain.

My online girlfriend Diane Tate  invited me and some friends on a virtual roadtrip on Twitter. We’ve been tweeting back and forth about how and why to do a real roadtrip for over a year.

Twitter friends started telling me about great people and nonprofits around the US doing wonderful projects to help people in desperate need. Chad Lilly tweeted about raising money on Twitter to help feed the hungry. We talked about letting the people help tell the stories and send money to those they want to help.

This year, everything seems to have come together. I met Kelsey Grammer on Twitter and Danny Glover’s brother Martin who is a filmmaker. Kelsey helped me create The Jeanette Joy Show. Martin filmed Tweet Me Nice and wants to help with Tweet Me Right.

Besides Diane, Dr. Mary Kay Evans, Dr. Heather Creed, Lori Moreno, Anita Nelson, Leslie Carothers and many others want to help raise consciousness about positive people making a difference.

Joy TV, myself, and the crew would like you to join us on our roadtrip. Please check the tentative map and share the people who you think should be included in the documentary. Come to our tweetups, meetups, film shoots. We want to promote entrepreneurs to kick the economy as well as showcase loving volunteers. The hope, to inspire others to go and do likewise, can make a difference. YOU can be a part of this cause.

Check out Tweet Me Right.com and comment below. Nominate your volunteers and charities.

Tweet to TweetMeRight. We also have a brand new Facebook group.

Thank you for your support!

Her mother called us over to look at her.  It was a few weeks after the quake in this remote village in China, really just some people living in tents beside their homes that had been destroyed by the Great Sichuan Earthquake.  The little girl had a few scratches and we had a doctor in our team, but she needed something more than medicine.

Clinging to her mother this elementary school age girl seemed more like a toddler, and as the doctor looked her over, her story was told. She had been rescued, pulled out of the rubble of her school that had collapsed.  When the building began to shake, the teacher tried to lead the children to safety, but everything happened too quickly.  The rescuers found her trapped in the debris, her legs covered with blood that had  filled up her shoes.  They quickly checked to see where she was bleeding, but found that she was unscathed.  The blood belonged to her best friend who was crushed directly behind her.

When we heard this story our team gave what we had, a large pink teddy bear, some candy, and instructions for her mother.  But I returned from that trip resolved to provide more for these children who have wounds that cannot be seen.

Many of the world’s 43 million people who are in need of humanitarian assistance are children, and many of them have experienced, seen and heard things that children should never have to bear.  OperationSAFE produces materials for and trains and mobilizes volunteers to work alongside professionals in IDP and refugee camps to help children recover from trauma.

From China’s Children

We designed the curriculum for children, around the story of a little penguin named Pete, (Pipi in Chinese) who is separated from his family when their ice-shelf falls into the sea.  Each day, the children learn a new lesson from Pete and his friends about how to survive.  We are currently producing an animated version of the story to be used worldwide. (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIP2l8lnRPs)  These lessons are reinforced through games, songs, crafts and caring volunteers who listen as the children open up and begin to share.

Typically about 80% of children will eventually adapt to their new situation, but they need someone to tell them that they will be alright. One little boy stood at the edge of the OperationSAFE camp and would not participate.  He was a “troublemaker”, negative, violent and anti-social.  On the fifth day of watching what was happening from the edge, this boy opened up to  one of the volunteers.  He pointed to the mountain behind the village and said, “When the earth shook, I watched a boulder come crashing down this hill.  It struck a man and split his body into pieces.  I had to step on him to escape.”  What a burden of guilt was lifted that day as the volunteer listened to what he shared without judging and told him that it wasn’t his fault!

There is no such thing as a “typical” host family. If you have room in your home – and your heart – to host a child, you could be one too.

Fresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city.

As one child says, “I can’t wait to get on the bus every summer so I can see my family and go swimming and hiking!”

You can give a child the experience of a lifetime with your gift to The Fresh Air Fund!

Every year, The Fresh Air Fund gives thousands of inner-city children the priceless gift of fun – and opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities.

Whether it’s a two-week trip to visit a volunteer host family, or a fun-filled and educational stay at one of our camps, our programs make for unforgettable memories – and open a world of new friendships and fresh possibilities.

We are a not-for-profit agency and depend on tax-deductible donations from people like you to keep our vital programs flourishing. Donate online now

Dear Dr Mani,

You always inspire me with your tweets, email, and products. I understand your Twitter methods. Your system works for you.  While I don’t agree with you about following practices, I do agree with your 5 Twitter Myths That Need Debunking.

Like you, I no longer auto follow. Moreover, I don’t even read DMs unless someone tweets me that they sent me a DM. When I had 400 followers/followees, I read my timeline. With the Twitter changes, reading the timeline makes no sense because you only see part of the tweets.

To me, Twitter is like a university. I wave at coworkers, students, friends, stop and chat for a time, share information, and learn something great everyday. I feel that limiting my following limits possible connections. I notice, as in real life, friends come and go. We hang out for awhile and then don’t see each other for a month or longer. I may not talk or tweet to everyone frequently; I try to answer each reply.

Twitter IS Good for Direct Response

I use bit.ly to monitor the traction of my tweets. You might be surprised to know that a tweet from me instigates thousands of clicks. I have been offered money to tweet a URL. I don’t sell tweets. Maybe I will next time you have a heartathon.

Twitter IS a reliable Communication Channel

Although many people may miss a tweet, you can repost later in a different format to get your message out.  While I have almost 20,000 emails and can’t read them all –I read every single @jeanettejoy mention. My friends and family know the best way to communicate with me is by tweet. Twitter allows me to contact people directly I never would have known how to contact before. I tweet with producers, actors, authors, and celebrities all over the world…like you!

I agree with you that Twitter is not a good place to defend positions and it is not about me, it’s about them. I don’t agree with you about instant traffic. Because of my numbers, I do generate instant traffic on Twitter. You can build your list with Twitter.

Twitter Is All About Real Connections

For me, the best Twitter outcome is meeting people in real life at events. Thank you for your connections to Frank McKinney. I feel blessed to have met you on Twitter… Did you know I took your ezine for years long ago and knew you as an Internet marketer? Until Twitter, I didn’t know about your work with children.

My life has changed in so many ways because of the people I network with on Twitter. I’m working on a list of people I’ve met in person as a result. I think the list will be over 1,000 Tweethearts.

If I was a working doctor or still teaching at the university, I would not have time for Twitter. Like you, I would need to limit my follows. I’m grateful for the friendships made, the pending joint ventures, the entertainment, the love shared on Twitter.

Joy to you,

Jeanette

P. S. Tweethearts, please share your tweet thoughts in a comment. Do you follow everyone? If I’m not following you back, please @ me.
