    Meet 7 Friends Tweeting in the New Year

    / 4 Comments

    It seems that after the wild ride that was 2020 there was an almost audible collective sigh of relief as the page on the calendar turned to the new year. Some of those people shared both hopeful new year greetings and more typical messages to friends and online followers. I enjoy exploring social media and especially appreciate Twitter as a way to explore unfamiliar ideas, stay in touch with friends, and to connect with new people.

    5 Things About Me – TMI Tuesday

    / 15 Comments

    While employed by others, I spent a lot of years maintaining strict boundaries and everyone’s privacy.

So, as a highly introverted advocate-turned-author, one of the things I struggle with is how to connect online without sharing too much about myself. The idea of “TMI Tuesday” felt right, so, here’s my first attempt. (I hope the questions don’t…
