I am really good at ‘keeping in touch’. I believe it’s one of my best attributes. Growing up my grandfather (and then my mother) made us write letters. Even if we talked on the phone every week he insisted we share letters. My love of snail mail continued at Camp Ramah in NE and all through college. I’m that girl that still goes to buy stamps. A little ‘note’ to say Hi goes a long way with friends. Who doesn’t love postcards? So even if we can’t talk on the phone I will always make the effort to show my friends they are important and I miss them!
I was the first one to leave for college, and moved the farthest away after college.. and now moving countries I’ve realized if I want to stay in touch I have to make the effort. I have an imaginary list of friends that I run through to texts/call/facetime/ or just send emoji hearts to… so that I don’t lose touch with them. Maybe not every week but every few weeks …
Jump to social media- yes I do love social media. It’s been my way of ‘keeping in touch’ of cultivating and creating new friendships, connections, and business ideas. Social media is a huge part of my life- but does not control my life. I am enthusiastic and positive and it’s not that I’m covering the bad days- but I take those sad, slow, tired days to myself… to get off the phone and just ‘be’. Social Media helps us all find support in hidden ways. I feel so uplifted by your support and encouragement. I love sharing my time and positivity to those in need.
I am a horrible food photographer- so may be why you see my face all over the page instead of my creations. I am eager to grow my very own Virtual Wellness Program in the next few months so your feedback is huge. I will continue to find ways to make us both happy and healthy.
If there is ever a time that social media does me more harm than good then I will step away- but for now.. keep sharing, posting, liking and I’ll be right here for you, with you!
