It’s time for another NASA Tweetup and guess what? I’m over the moon with excitement! Following is the media release I’m distributing about my attendance and above is one of my favorite photos from my first NASA Tweetup, final launch of space shuttle Endeavour on May 16, 2011. Hope you’ll follow along with me on […]
Do you have an interest in the space shuttle program? Did you marvel at it when you were a kid and dream about being an astronaut and floating in space? Would you like to meet an astronaut? Are you a Twitterer who follows NASA? Did you follow my tweets and blog posts about the incredible […]
Was there any doubt this post would be about the NASA Tweetup at Kennedy Space Center, April 28 & 29, 2011? If you’ve been reading along, you know I’ve been inspired by many NASA people so it’s only appropriate this week’s Wordless Wednesday showcases some of these amazing folks I met and listened to this […]
Those who have joined me on this journey of participating in the NASA Tweetup (April 28 & 29, 2011) know the sentimental meaning of attending and potentially seeing a space shuttle launch.

NASA Tweetup Fashion: Feather Hair Clip When fashion sense and creativity were being handed out, my sister Liz must have received my portions. She’s incredibly clever, talented, funny and rivals Carrie Bradshaw when it comes to fashion.
