Posted on March 8, 2019 by

Look Good, Feel Good, Blog Good

Without Facebook

Posted on November 16, 2018 by

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for about a year. It was going to be called, “Six Months Without Facebook”. Six months turned into a year and I told myself, “A Year Without Facebook” would be a suitable title. … Continue reading →
