Yes it does, Normandie! It’s what I do, but sometimes it feels like I’m waaaaaaay behind everyone else!
Aloha! –Cheryl

Deborah, there are some thoughtful writers at most of those places. Enjoy!

Great post. Inspired me to reconnect with LinkIn. I’ll have to check out some of the groups you mentioned as well.

Yes, I get that, Cheryl. But I’ve decided only to do the bits that are comfortable for me. I tweet other folks’ posts and my own. And I find fellowship among our client group, on Facebook, and by participating in some of the other groups that speak to me.

So, we do what feels right, and we let the tribal growth thing work its way in our life. Does that make sense?

I still have a difficult time with all the social media stuff. It seems that every time I get the hang of something, there’s something new or different or added!!! Then I’m lost again. Sigh . . .

Yes, ma’am! I can’t say that my conversation skills have changed, Tracie. I’ve always enjoyed one-on-one and that is no different now. If you mean that texting has affected conversation, then I’d agree with you. We often go out to dinner and see an entire family with thumbs dancing all over their phone–and not a one of them talking to another. I don’t text. I’ve dug in my heels, and I’m sticking to that, in spite of my son’s suggestion that it is a great way to keep in touch. If he’d like to keep in touch, I need either words in an email or his voice on the telephone! (And not during dinner.)

And sometimes we get to meet them in person and continue the long-distance friendship via social media. Right, Tracie?

Social media can be a help and a hindrance. It helps us find like-minded people. I also think it has hindered our face-to-face abilities. We’re losing the art of conversation. The happy news is that people are reading and writing more than ever before.
I’m so pleased to have met you and to be in some kind of mutual tribe, whatever that may be.
