His recent enterprise is a small business adventure, aptly named Earthelper. He envisions that he will sell fruits and seeds for home delivery to neighbors and friends. He’ll take some of the proceeds to invest in the Anacostia Watershed Society (http://www.anacostiaws.org/). He likes to hike in one of their parks and feels this would be a worthwhile use of the profits. If you live close to me, you just might see a 9 year old, and his young friend Anna, hawking various items, so feel free to support them. I see a long career of non-profit in his future, Cool! What a great story, Sue! Thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year! -- Lynn I’m much more of a ‘doer’ than a ‘sayer’ and happy to see this trait passing on to my son.

I really feel like I've built a lot of valuable connections here in the blog world and made a lot of real friends - many of whom I've met IRL. But we also need to get involved in our communities, get to know our neighbors and learn what the challenges and successes are in our schools and cities. Happy New Year. Yes, so much "we need to do." We all need to give ourselves a break, too. Many of us have kids to raise, marriages to keep strong, professional development to pursue....and what about time to spiritually recharge? For me, blogging is a break. It rankles me when "bloggy friends" demand stumbles, attention, more than I can comfortably give as some type of proof point. I am very happy with those relationships I've formed that are a form of mutual support...and I count you in that group, Michelle... Happy New Year! -- Lynn So true, Lynn.

I have reached same conclusion. Like any tool, social media and blogging in particular, need to be used well, not overused, or used to the wrong end. What I want to know is, are you going to post less frequently, and become a slow blogger like me? :) Bonne annee! Oh, Marguerite, I thought of you when I wrote this! I know you've talked a lot about this same issue! I'm not looking to go into slow mode...(sometimes I think I already have), but I need to delegate more, get more help, so I can focus on the things I truly love.... Right on, Lynn!
