A couple of months ago I reactivated my Facebook account. I had deactivated it after getting a little frustrated with some activity I saw happening.
But then I started hearing more and more about the benefits of having a Facebook page and how great it can be for business. And so I'm back.
I've "friended" several people since then -- some from high school who I haven't seen in many, many years, some family members who I see maybe a couple times a year, some past co-workers and acquaintainces.
For anyone who has followed my blog over the past several months, it's no secret that the latter part of 2008 and the earlier part of this year were filled with some very difficult personal and professional challenges. With the support of the best friends one could ask for and after taking some much needed time to "figure things out," my life is, for the most part, back on track.
Like anyone else, though, there are those days when discouragement, fear, and doubt creep into my thoughts.
A few days ago, I "reconnected" with a past customer on Facebook. I've done a total of four transactions with her family -- grandmother, cousin, brother -- and every one of them was simply a pleasure to work with.
About a week ago Jennie wrote on her wall, "If you're Happy and you know it Clap your hands!!! If you're Happy and you know it your Face should surely show it!!!"
I couldn't help but laugh to myself when I read that.
Then the next day, she posted, "WOW!!! Life is amazing!!! My next car is a white Mercedes!!!"
And the next day... "What a BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, EXCEPTIONAL, day!!!! It is a great day to be alive!!!!"
Yesterday's message was, "I'm happy, are you??? Get Happy!!!"
And today... "I love that I hold the whole entire rest of my life in my own hands... I choose to have a great one!!!"
I finally commented back to Jennie today how I love her posts. Always upbeat and always providing the little "push" I need to keep going, to let go of the discouragement, fear, and doubt and to remember that I can have a great life. Who would have thought I'd find that from a past customer on Facebook?
Everyone should have a Jennie in their life.
