The Facts of Life Cast

If you have been paying attention to my Social Networks as of late I have been recently obsessed with the 1980′s hit TV Show, The Facts of Life. There are television shows we remember fondly from our childhood, for me “Who’s the Boss”, “Growing Pains” and “The Facts of Life” are the few that come to my 80’s-born mind. When I heard that The Facts of Life had made its way onto Netflix Canada, I pulled it up on my TV and through my Nintendo Wii I became addicted to it all over again.

I instantly challenged my memory of the show and since I was born in 1981 and the show began airing in August 1979, I quickly realized that what I had watched as a child was actually reruns of the show. I certainly hadn’t watched all seasons and was surprised to relive some of my favorite 80’s characters enjoyably as an adult. It was also great to be able to watch all of the moments I had missed with the 209 episodes that they had aired back then.

Social_Media_Social_Recluse

The meaning behind a “Social Recluse” as derived from the Urban Dictionary:

“A person who voluntarily removes themselves from social situations, or society altogether.”

May not be applicable to many others since the term can be from a compilation of things that have caused us to shy away from society and become a recluse without choosing too. Such things could include, shyness, a variety of anxiety disorders and one in which is a disorder that is for the social recluse, known as “Avoidant personality disorder”.

Any of which can be the contributing factor in which we will shut our blinds and for the most part contently remain reclusive within our own dwellings. I will state that I am not a doctor, nor do I have any degree in psychology.  I have, however, been affected by anxiety. Like many, the feeling of isolation that comes along with the side order of depression is often unsettling and leaves us in great discomfort.

Dealer Social Media Care

As Social Media has progressed in the past few years it is hard to keep up with what will turn the crank on gaining people who will be of value to you as you would hope to be to them. As a dealer trying to figure out the inner workings of the Internet may sound achievable until you try it and learn how much work is needed to put true effort into your social media sites.

Posting pictures or content of any kind to merely look active has come and gone. Much like an oil change is needed to up keep the maintenance of a vehicle, keeping up with what is necessary to ensure your social networks remain of quality, you need to care about your social media without truly knowing its ins and outs. Just like a customer depends on dealers to do the oil change and all is required on the customers end is for them to care enough when that light comes on within their car to alert them.

Am I Relevant

As children we all aspire to do great things and often dream of becoming someone memorable. As we grow into adolescence and adulthood, the world goes from innocent to egocentric and then to realizing that the world is a lot bigger than us, much like someone peering down upon small ants of people. This is the stage in which we reflect on our childhood dreams, on the days in which freedom was not only of the spirit but of the mind and in a world so big we question, Am I Relevant?

Merry Christmas from my Family to Yours

Traditions are so important within my family, especially as the Holiday Season arrives. My mother plays a special role as she is the person who makes all the Christmas magic come alive, no matter how she is feeling, she pushes through to ensure that our traditions carry on the way she did when I was just a little girl.

My mother suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis and anyone who knows someone or suffers from this can relate to how debilitating it can become and making even the simplest of movements a struggle when flare ups occur.

Although it is hard to watch and know that there is nothing that can be done for the pain, this would never stop my mother from making our spirits bright and lightning up the house to make the warmth of a home blanket us as the winter winds swirl outside.
