Love when politics and social media come together.

After being inspired by the power of Twitter, Aron Nil thought of ways twitter could help the people of Israel. What he came up with was @TheKotel where fellow Jews tweet a prayer which Nil then prints off and takes to the Western Wall where it is believed God picks up the message quicker….but the question is… does @God tweet back?

This photo has inspired me to add a new feature to the site on a weekend (when I am too busy enjoying the sunshine to post!).

Add your captions in the comments! (and yes this is now courtesy of my new MacBook Pro – it’s so pretty!)

and that is why I have started this new blog.

After almost 1 year of writing at www.internationalrevelations.com I have decided to open the door a little wider because I think I have a lot more to say (not necessarily good or interesting, just more ;-p)… International Revelations stared as a personal exercise to give me the discipline to read more and keep in touch with my passion. I needed an output and so the blog was born. I was then surprised that people seemed to like my blog and my writing and so I started involving myself more in the blogosphere, reading other people’s blogs, commenting and socially connecting.

I love the debate that is out there on many topics and I love socially interacting with people I would never meet in real life, but I was always frustrated that I could only post about politics and international affairs and not some other topics that interest me. So here we are…after 3 months of going off the web completely to think about it, and after much consultation with my blog mentor, I have got myself a bigger soapbox. These are the topics that you might be hearing more about from me and why:

As an Assistant Brand Manager at P&G for Max Factor – As I make a big career change on July 1 (from Finance to Marketing) I’ll be writing about what I am learning about Marketing. As someone that is 3 years into their career, I will also right about work and career related topics.

As someone that has just spent 3 years working in the Fragrance industry and about to start working on Cosmetics, I’ll also post any interesting beauty topics (no, I am not going to post videos on how to put your make-up on!).

As the founder of IamGenerationY.com and typical GenYer, I’ll write about Social Media, GenY issues and perspectives and link to amazing GenY content creators.

As someone with a Masters in International Relations, I’ll still post at internationalrevelations.com and post the best articles on current affairs here.

And I am sure there will also be some random topics.

So there we go-  new (blogging) year, new job & new thesis theme …  I hope that you enjoy seeing the world a little from my perspective and hearing more about the things that interest me or that happen in my world….

I know everyone says this but please comment – it is such a buzz.

Cheers, Sarah
