Social Media Isn’t Bad After All!

The Merits of Social Media I couldn’t remember her name. I was sitting in front of my computer screen, there wasn’t even any pressure and I could not recall her name. Easily I pictured her face and felt the warmth of her cheerful attitude and genuine heart. But for the life of me, her name eluded me. Naturally, I turned to social media, Facebook specifically, for … [Read more...] about Social Media Isn’t Bad After All!

Waiting to Tell Friends

As an easy to read what-you-see-is-what-you-get girl I squirmed as a close friend headed toward our front door.

My husband and I agreed to keep the potential move between family and I felt … [Read more...] about Waiting to Tell Friends
