I had my first physical therapy session for my broken shoulder today. I was eager to get started stretching and strengthening the muscles in my arm which haven't been used much in the last month. I was excited to get my range of motion back and get on with life. While I knew recovery would take some time, I figured once PT started recovery would
I've about had it with social media. I spend more time scrolling on by - and not engaging - than ever before. This is not the first time I've ranted about unfriending people, and it probably won't be the last. I find myself only engaging on safe posts now. I will like pictures of your new puppy (I'll actually use the ♥ for new puppies),
What a long strange trip it's been. We're only one week into 2021 and already it's outdone its predecessor. Pretty sure there's no need for a recap, we've all been glued to our screens while the Capitol was stormed and breached by a bunch of dumbass Trump supporters. Chaos All those who stormed the Capitol and entered it to cause harm, fear and chaos should
Welcome to day 6 of Start Your Own Blogging Business! Prior to today's lesson, we've been doing the heavy lifting of creating a blog. So far we've discovered our niche, found our domain and set up hosting. From there we installed Wordpress and chose a theme. We also created our social media sites and designed them to look like our blog. Yesterday, we learned a
Welcome to day 4 of Start Your Own Blogging Business! Today we're going to set up our social sites to match our website/blog. This is a lot of fun because it's pretty easy and the results are really satisfying. As always, if you have any questions please leave them in the comments or post your questions in the Facebook group. If you haven't already joined
I can't be the only one whose blog traffic has dropped so significantly in the last few months, right? Has Google done some new changes to its algorithm? Surely it couldn't be because I only write a new post about once a month. Hell, I've been doing that for years. Is blogging dead? I can't believe that to be true. While I know the original
2018 is going to be the year when I ask myself - often - I Wonder What Would Happen If I.....? Like most everyone I make New Year's Resolutions. Also, like most everyone, I usually forget about them by the second week of the year. Usually my resolutions are about losing weight, finding love and improving my finances. And, to my credit, I made considerable strides
Between all the many terrorist attacks, stupid things President Trump tweets or what stupid thing a washed up celebrity has said, I just can't muster anymore outrage. I want to be upset, I do. I mean the fact that Kathy Griffin hired an attorney because she believes the Trumps are going after her and dooming her career - because she hired a photographer to take
As some of you may know, I'm taking a break from social media. Specifically Facebook because that's where I waste most of my time. It's only been 3 days, but it feels like forever. I miss everyone and yet I'm really happy staying away. I have had to pop back in for work and have regretted it as soon as I even begin to scroll.
I'm going to be taking a social media break. Mostly from Facebook since that is where I waste most of my time. I'm doing it for many reasons, the above mentioned wasting time is a big one, but I'm also doing it because it's not fun anymore. Social media has turned into the Mean Girls table in 7th grade and I hated it then and
