I'll admit it: I follow Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) on Twitter. And, he's fantastic. He's witty, smart, and charming, and I'd like to marry him. (Sidebar: Other celebrities ahem, Ashton Kutcher could take a lesson from Wilson in How to Tweet Effectively.) He talks about his cool kid, Walter, his co-workers, and his life in general. In following Wilson, I learned of the new website that he has launched, SoulPancake, and I was immediately intrigued. SoulPancake claims to be an online community that sparks conversations about spirituality and creativity. With Wilson at the helm, it's sure to be a bumpy ride.
In a lot of ways, I think that humor is really the best angle with which to approach serious topics like spirituality. And, I love that the site is aiming to encourage conversations about such topics that will take place in a forum outside of religious or educational institutions. SoulPancake is a very young site that still seems to have some glitches, but I'll be interested in keeping up with it. And, maybe even getting some answers to life's big questions.

ReplyDeleteI follow @rainnwilson too - he's so real about it. I had no idea what an interesting person he was until I started following him on twitter, after Ingrid kept bringing up what he had tweeted in conversations. I think it would be so easy for him to have just been seen as "Dwight on The Office" without, well, the internet! and social media! twitter! But he's way more and now you can really get that on Soul Pancake. I've clicked over once or twice, mostly from things he has twittered, and I'm interested in participating in the Soul Pancake community more.
