Thanks to all my new Facebook family as well - I'm gonna need a bigger Thanksgiving table! I've been on my own most of my adult life. I don't mind being alone. I'm an only child of two only children who had me at 42. grew up as the only kid in my neighborhood. Now that my folks are gone, I don't have close family since I don't have kids. The good news? get to choose my family. I'm so blessed by my special family. Then came Twitter. | PHOENIX RISING DECEMBER 31, 2009 Think Small Everyday, someone on Twitter or Facebook bring joy and a smile to my world. It's the day for New Year's Resolutions yet again. We're all making our lists of ways to be better people, do better things, spread joy to more of those around us. What a worthy cause! So why wait til New Year's? We can make those same resolutions every day of our lives. Just as the spirit of the Holidays can inspire us - resolutions to do good things can lift us every day of the year. Our New Year's resolutions often take time to complete. | | | | | |
| PHOENIX RISING MARCH 2, 2010 If it Looks like a Duck. Whether it's on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or the host of other social media sites. watched a debate on FaceBook the other day. The freedom to share has increased our debates. used to think some people took a contrarian point of view just to feel important. We all know those types. But thanks to social media that behavior has expanded to include all of us. That's one of the powers of our connected world - we can all voice an opinion, share our perspective, debate an issue. We revel in our new power. Are we debating for the sake of the debate? | PHOENIX RISING NOVEMBER 12, 2009 We CAN be Civilized! Last week my dear friend Dixie Dynamite (Dixie Gillaspie for those who haven't felt the power) sent a request out to FaceBook friends. Then more blogs came along, and more FaceBook wall posts and Twitter requests. Signs are all around that we're sliding down a slippery slope. It's obvious to so many of us that 'society' is moving beyond civilization - following the path of the once great Roman and Greek cultures. Business priorities are questionable, personal lives are filled with violence and disrespect. Quite the 8 year old. Noah doesn't. | |
