Life Lessons ~ From My Facebook Friends!

Everyone knows I love Facebook. After all, I wrote a book about Social Media and I teach a hands-on workshop as well.

My professional career aside, the number one reason I love Facebook is that I love love love my Facebook friends!

I use Facebook mostly to inspire and be inspired. And it sure works!
