One of the biggest surprises for me when I first joined Twitter two years ago was how many truly lovely people I met. I’ve told the story several times that I resisted joining social media as the editors in my city used it to show how fabulous they were. It came across to me as bragging and I didn’t want anything to do with that. Thankfully my friend Heather convinced me to join and I was immediately taken on how many great people are on Twitter. I met Nina Westbury (@ninawmakeup) on Twitter when she won one of my contests. She gave me the wrong address to her house twice!! I discovered the Bridgette Jones of Beauty through social media. She’s become such a dear friend. She makes me laugh so hard with her misadventures and the stories she makes up about me. My favourite was when she told everyone I insisted her son play the harp at our events. There are so many others I’ve met. It would take pages to list them all. But I’m so grateful to have met each of you.
There were so many people who shared their incredible stories below. If you get a chance, read through them. They’re heartwarming. Everyone had a great story. I drew from all entries below and Stacy Bauer from the U.S. was the winner. Big thanks to all who entered!

May 1, 2015 at 12:56 pmThe sweetest person I have met on twitter is @Ladylisa50 We met as fellow sweepers and rival football fans. We shared giveaways over time and tagged each other on facebook. I would welcome her into my home any time and felt really bad when she sustained an injury several weeks ago and has been off her feet. I wish we didn’t live so far apart. I would love to meet her and enjoy her real friendship.

May 1, 2015 at 9:56 am@WendyLiebman is the sweetest person on Twitter and also on FB. She’s a busy American comedian who performs throughout N. America, yet she takes the time to comment on and like my tweets. I did get to meet her a couple summers ago in L.A. and the meet-up just reinforced the sweetness I see online.

May 1, 2015 at 9:46 amI kept missing out on this and I am pretty sure I am too late…but my #FF is someone who became my bestie because of our love for music and girl talk. This blog is certainly a part of that girl talk. I love her like a sister because that is what we’ve become @jabbyjanene …she is one of the most good hearted and sincere women I have ever met!!
