Its been 8 days (and saying good bye to my almost 9 year old Dell laptop) since my last/first blog post but there has been so much extra craziness going on that this Crunchy Mama has not had the time to share anything here! My goodness how our world is in serious need of some encouragement, health tips, and social connection! And my how I've discovered that I'm not quite a dinosaur when it comes to technology but I'm definitely not in the fast stream that is ever-changing and growing! I've got some self-education to do to get caught up and quick!
Which brings me to my first point of this blogpost! 😃
We are in this time space reality of virtual...EVERYTHING! We'd almost never have to leave our homes, even if we had a choice right now. Looking forward to April 13th by the way!! I'll be running to my car screaming "Hallelujah I'm going to get groceries!!!" LOL But now is the time to self-educate! And there are so many options! I myself am working towards creating and organizing something awesome I can offer a special group of people that are seeking that specific knowledge!
So my question for you is...what are you good at? What do you LOVE to do? What would be the most perfect job that you could see yourself in, that would bring joy not only to your heart but the people that you help? Something special that you have to share? Is it cooking? Is it YouTube training? Is it Instagram help? Is it child-rearing? 🙋 oh, I need that!! You are great at something, maybe more than one thing! And God has given you this ability to share with others!! Especially in a time like our current situation!
Start using social media to creating virtual connections!! And try the 30 day Better Life Challenge! Its been amazing and life changing, the points that Dean has got me thinking about. Join me today! And enter to win some cool stuff including a Tesla car!!!
