There is bad in everything but I wanted to share some of the upsides, I get to experience, from having thousands of the RIGHT friends and connections from around the world:

#1. NO MATTER what time it is at home, it’s daytime somewhere so there is ALWAYS something going on.

#2. I don’t watch the traditional news (stopped years ago) because of the negativity BUT I don’t miss out on ‘actual’ news because the good, bad, or indifferent; if it’s important, someone has posted about it. In fact, I stay up on news around the country and the world in less time. Making my time more productive.

#3. I guard my mind from pessimism and drama so the connections I have are uplifting, inspirational, and making a difference; inspiring me to continue to live MY life the same.

#4. I learn NEW perspectives and break biased stigmas of multiple cultures with my children by educating them as well.

#5. Last but not least…because it’s always part of another day (either behind us or ahead of us), come birthday time, I get birthday wishes for 2 days, HAHA!

Enjoy the small world it truly is!!
