I keep thinking of her. I will never know her name.

Days ago we shared the same life.

Wife to one. Mother to five.

She made breakfast, wiped tears away, disciplined when needed.

She laughed with her family, she rocked babies and sang songs of love in little ears.

She was me.

Today she mourns for her five children. Her husband unable to console her grief.

Loss so debilitating and incomprehensible.

She mourns a loss that I pray I am never able to fathom.

I am wrecked for her from the warm, safe cocoon of my home.

I have no answers.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

-Matthew 25:35-40

I did what everyone did and will continue to do.

I gave money that I spend frivolously on lattes and luxuries.

It is not enough.

It will never be enough for her.

I will never forget her.

Never stop praying for her.

Praying for comfort.

For healing.

We are the same woman, born in different situations.

Children of God.

I will never forget her.

Rave Reviews of the Smart Girl’s Guide

“As someone who’s often educating companies and individuals about how to use Twitter, I find that Alli’s book conveys the whole process in an easy, understandable and straightforward manner using a witty, conversational tone. She cuts through the chaos and gives you what you really need to know (or not) and tells it like it is. Any level Twitter user will learn something from this book. Alli is a master sensei of the Twitter dojo.”

-Barbara Jones

“Alli Worthington provides amazing insight into what you need to know to use and make the most out of Twitter. Like her presence on Twitter and in social media, she infuses all that advice with her endearing spirit, joy, enthusiasm and soul. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to not just use Twitter, but who wants to get Twitter.”

-Kelby Carr

One of the things Allison Worthington is best at is connecting with people. In her book, The Smart Girls Guide To Twitter, she makes it easy for the rest of us to understand how to make the same meaningful connections and how to maintain those connections over time. A quick and fun read, this book is great for novices and experts alike, and people like me in who fall somewhere in the middle. I thought I knew it all but her book gave me a lot of new ideas and tips on how to increase my following. Loved it!

-Mary Anne Beasley

“If you’re wondering how to make Twitter as ‘awesome’ as all your friends say it is, but you don’t know where to start? Allison Worthington’s new book is your secret weapon! Read it, practice it, and get your girlfriend on – because you’re about to become one of those ‘Twitter addicts’ and you’ll love every second of it. You couldn’t have a better tour guide to the Twitter village than Alli – she’s everyone’s kind of Twitterati – the girlfriend you want to hang with because she knows all the best people, insider secrets, and hot tips!”

-Lucretia M. Pruitt

“Everything Alli puts her mind to is blissfully successful. I think her secret is how much she cares about people and how hard she works to make sure that each bit is right.”

-Liz Strauss

Allison Worthington has created a guide for Twitter that is useful for geeks and non-geeks. Worthington’s practical tips and friendly tone make this e-book perfect for your grandmother who just created a Twitter account and your tech savvy co-worker who wants to know more about Twitter. I didn’t think one e-book could appeal to Twitter newbies and the hard-core Twitter user, but this book does the job.

-Michelle Lamar

August 12, 2009

Last Month I went up to Boston for the iRobot Summit. It was the first time in 1o years I have been anywhere alone. I have only spent the night without some of the boys if I was actually in the hospital having another child. Something about the event just seemed perfect, so I accepted [...]
