Questions about Connecting with Others

These are all questions I had, as I went online to search for answers. I was clueless.

Why would I want a blog? Isn’t that like an online diary? Why would anyone want a public diary? Who would want to read such? What is a web host? Now that I have one, what do I do with it? Spent hours, weeks, months, learning to make a website, when what I really needed was a content management system such as wordpress.

I found a birthday card to my sister still stuck in a desk drawer, from 2 years earlier, never mailed. First I had to remember to pick up a card when at a store, then I had to find my address book, stamps, by then I’d misplaced the card, etc. Never had all 3 together at the same time. I have no idea what happened to the card. Hopefully it finally made it in the mail.

I counted one day I had around 100 first cousins. When was the last time I talked to any of them? Do I even know where they live? Heck, it is hard enough to stay in touch with my own siblings. I’m still working on that challenge.

Add the challenge of having your own businesses, balancing it around family and other commitments, I could use all the help I could get. So many great technology tools out there which help us do this. And I learned that I’m not the only one seeking such answers.

    I’m an anti-aging coach who helps middle-aged adults look and feel young healthy and sexy into their nineties. It’s amazing how many different reasons lead to me recommending creating an online presence for my clients. Whether it’s more income, quality relationship connections, a way to give back, or just a place to engage in what they feel passionate about, a website or blog can be exactly what is needed. Heidi your blog answers the questions and makes to recommendations a new Boomer Blogger needs. I’ll certainly pass on a link to Connect Simply!
