Random follow #262 - @Toni_Knowles

"Inspiration - An agency, such as a person or work of art, 

that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention."

@Toni_Knowles is a young lady who inspires.  In her own quiet way her energy, drive and commitment to achieving her personal goals is right up there with the very best.  Marathon runner, Ironman and all round cool chick Toni is someone who I really enjoy following on twitter.

Just as an aside I have been following Toni for a lot longer than this blog has been going but I didn't properly make the shift to following her on this account until recently.  Why did I wait so long?  I have no idea.  I really should have moved earlier and hit the follo button sooner.

So what is there to know about this fine lady?  Well for a start she is a whizz at both marketing and social media.  She is also super friendly, highly engaging and brings a bit of fun to the twitter world.  Her tweets (much like her) are unassuming, friendly and what you see is what you get.  Straight forward, easy to engage with but doesn't suffer fools gladly.

So what does a good @Toni_Knowles look like?  Well here are a couple of examples - 

"Might have to declare tomorrow Jandal Day. Who's with me? #AucklandMarathon"

"Weather update: Rangitoto has disappeared. Watch out all you trick or treaters and pumpkins!"

"Husband: What did you google on? Me: I just googled on google #intelligentconversations"

As always it taked the support of others to help us achieve our goals.  And for Toni it is her husband.  The people behind the people who inspire are the ones who deserve the thanks and appreciation which is usually on lauded upon those actually on the course.

She is a twitter stayer and manages year in year out to both inspire others while also offering encouragement to those who need it.  One all round cool tweeter - thats Toni.  And on the other side of the coin when she is competing in Taupo in March next year I am sure all the tweets of encouragement that will flow back to her in abundance.  Because you reap what you sow!

So todays person @Toni_Knowles comes highly recommended.
