If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed at times, maybe there is too much on your plate? There are only so many hours in the day and chances are you are beating yourself up about not accomplishing things that in reality you couldn’t accomplish in a single day anyway. Take some time to write down what really matters in your every day life and schedule in those things first. I call them the 5 F’s: Family, Fitness, Faith, Fun, Finances. Continue reading
There are 3 privacy options for Facebook Groups: Public, Closed, or Secret. When choosing your Group’s Privacy Setting, consider these points: Once a Group reaches 250 members, you cannot decrease the Privacy Setting.
