Social media – it’s becoming a strange topic; a phrase everyone throws around but really no one has a game plan about. There are many different components of social media that could be discussed in great detail, but for the purpose of this short guest post, let’s draw our attention to effectiveness across networks and mediums. I remember the last 2 years of high school – I had to begin making decisions about the future, where to…
Seriously… Biggest pet peeve ever is when I call someone, or even text, and they do not ever respond or return the call! Have some courtesy!
At the time of this writing, I’ve only been married less than 8 months. Still, I’m snatching up every resource on marriage I can, because I want a successful long-lasting one.
