Ah, social media, you gotta love it.

Or not.

Personally, for the most part I’m ok with social media. I don’t get it 100% but it’s been good to me, so I’m going to stick around.

I really like Facebook, my Facebook page is a happy place. Full of inspiring people who want to make themselves better and make the world a better place.

Does this describe you? If so great, let’s be friends. Add me!

I’ve heard people complaining about their social media feeds. How they are so tired of people who are negative and complaining. How it really brings them down.

Here is my question? If people on your feed are not delivering to you the content that nourishes you, makes you happy and is in line with your values perhaps it’s time to unfriend them online.

My social media world is a place I enjoy hanging out in because I created it that way. If someone posts something that makes me squirm, I give them one chance, and then a second chance and on the third one –  good-bye. I choose my news. You can too!

Decide you gets to play in your social media space, choose your news, it’s just one more way to live Your Life, Unlimited!
