Social Media Faux Paux, Ex Relationship Pics and Comments

Well from the live and learn category we travel today, I love writing about things that crop up within my own relationship, that are mistakes I have made within the confines of Social Media, positively or adversely effecting my relationships.  Recently a certain Faux Paux was brought to my attention that kind of embarrassed me that I hadn't done something about it without being told.

I had left pic's up on my face book, in my photos, that were of ex-girlfriends of sorts with descriptions and or comments that were amorous in nature, that were hurting the feelings of the lady that I was seeing.  I was rather dumbfounded that they were there, I had honestly forgot about them.  I have nearly 400 pic's in my photo's section of face book and hadn't thought about pic's in there that might represent things, feelings etcetera that were now not accurate.

When informed and I had that deer in the head lights look on my face, I quickly got online and either deleted pic's or the remarks associated to them that could give the wrong impression.  I apologized profusely for the unintentional mistake and made a mental note to never let that happen again and was given a kiss and a hug for taking down things that made her feel uncomfortable..  So all ended well.

Moral of the story to glean from this is, when going into a new relationship take the others feelings into consideration about what content you still have out there in the land of social media, make adjustments or delete content that can leave questions about your true feelings towards them or what might be misconstrued by others that can cause hurt feelings or even confrontations, when it isn't necessary..

Live and Learn...

This Child and Her Family need your Help and Prayers..

This sweet, little, 4 year old girl, Eslyn Kubalek, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on Monday June 18^th 2012.  She is in the midst of 4-6 months of treatments to combat the cancer at Toledo Children's Hospital. Eslyn is blessed to be a member of a family of faith. She has two great parents and 5 siblings (some older, some younger).

Due to her treatments dear sweet little Eslyn is beginning to lose her hair. The treatments have also brought on a fever and swelling which has caused the need for continuing treatment in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Literally she is battling for life while friends, family, and even blessed strangers exercise faith in prayer on her behalf and ask that any faith we lack be made up out of the bounteous goodness and grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

A long drawn out battle with cancer brings with it MANY expenses only a part of which are covered by insurance. If you feel moved to help defray these expenses you may send a donation of any size to:

Eslyn Kubalek's Medical Fund
c/o First Federal Bank
300 N. Main St.
Adrian, MI 49221

Thanks so much for doing whatever you can do to help. May God bless you and yours.

Please keep Eslyn and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she battles this horrible cancer! We love you Eslyn! Stay strong! ♥

Social Media, The Beacons Light in Times of Trouble..

Though miles, states, even countries can separate, Social Media can bring so much to the table of ones life, especially in times of trial.  Once again one of those living it lessons, spawned by events on going..  


Case in point, last week I had major surgery, the ramifications of which were weighing heavy on my mind, because of the quality of life changes that might come to bear without a satisfactory outcome from the "Wizards" talents..  I have been having health issues for the past couple of months and I let it be known in general, health issues that is on Face Book.  When surgery came up last week there was a out pouring of prayers and support from friends and family on my fave social media, Face Book.


I am pretty strong person by alright's, but with all the additional support it gave me a inner strength to meet whatever the outcome..

The day of the surgery I had my better half, Sherie take some pre-op pics and made fun of myself of sorts with the wonderful hospital gown and cap I was so graciously ordered to wear, a fashion statement it was, total faux paux..  I looked totally "dorkie", at least more so that day than most..


I kidded with the nurses and doctors prior to surgery, even tried to dance on the gurney on my way to surgery.


When surgery was complete, Sherie got on face book and let everyone know I was okay, let them in on the dancing and joking part, even posted the pre-op pic...  Lots of comments were left, some snide, some joking, all filled with caring and concern.  The responses meant the world to me, it also helped my kids, who saw all the love and support their dad was getting from around the country and around the world.  It gave them a ease that everything was going to be okay.


Sherie found a ton of support and my friends around the country got a little insight on what a great lady I had, she was always by my side and my rock..  New friendships were founded by her also through all this and the use of Face Book.


At times we like to be closed mouthed on bad things that might be happening to ourselves, trying to deal with the negative things on our own.  Strength in numbers is a reality and a truism and this one event in my life gave total credence to that.  


Yesterday, the Wizard tested me and found the operation was a total success, I went on Face Book and shared the good news and received hundreds of responses of further support...  This was a huge bonding time with me and so many, people I have never met, just converse with on face book daily, weekly, monthly...  We have moments of time in each others lives through the Internet and so many came together to give me support in a dark hour.


I love it when the good in humanity comes shining through and this day and age of social media, a.k.a. face book, twitter, Google+, Linkdn, Pinterest and the likes, gives us the opportunity to reach out and make difference in each others lives.  It enables friendships to be born and grow, romance to flourish and expand, and lonely times to be put to rest, because there is always a voice to respond back from cyber space.


Opening up yourself to others can be a scary proposition at times, but to gain anything in life you are going to have to take chances, in this event in my life it proved to be...


Just What The Wizard Ordered...
