My Living Room My Wall, Putting the SOCIAL back in Social Media

                                "My Wall, My Rules" Several weeks ago a close friend of mine called to check in.  He is a physician.  A wise man I have known for  over 30 years.  We started talking about Social Media and how it has changed and altered our lives.   One concern we both shared is the lack of respect people show each other on social media.  I am the first to admit I have been guilty.   He then shared some wise advice.  He said "Think of your Facebook wall as your living room and give the same respect to others".   He went on to say "If someone posts something you disagree with or it offends you, on their wall ,  say to yourself what you wanted to post and move-swipe on".    If you find a post positive or you like it, Like It.  Even take the time to say something supportive or positive.  In other words use self control.  Be positive.  Be kind.  Sometimes it is better to be kind than right. We both also agreed that you need to let people postin

Brave!

Be Brave!  To Mr Hogge Principal Bountiful High, Regards to Name change: We are the Bountiful Brave. So I checked the dictionary: To be (a) Brave: “ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage.” endure or face (unpleasant conditions or behavior) without showing fear. Google what does the word Brave mean? having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty : having or showing courage a brave soldier a brave smile. This is how I saw/see us? No? Is this not who we are? When you refer to me as an Native American Brave I consider it highest of honors. A show of respect! I do my very best to hold to a standard of excellence that comes with such an honor! That’s what Native American Brave s are! The very best of the best! No Fear! Full of courage! No quit! The leaders of the tribe! Most importantly full of love for their people! Willing to give their life for. Saying this is a racist issue is disgraceful and disrespectful. We as the Bountiful Brave
