#goodbyefacebook

I haven’t had a blog in forever. I had one in high school but I honestly can’t remember the log in anymore. I’m really excited to use this as a way of explaining myself to people who don’t know me. It’ll be refreshing to have a little getaway online. 

I’m at a phase in my life where I am completely starting over. 

Social media is becoming toxic, so I will resort to using a blog as my coping and venting and scrolling through for positivity. 

I am a gardener, landscaper, camper, artist, small business owner, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I am a daughter of Christ.

I am starting over, here.

Mein erster Post hier und damit ein neues Kapitel. Ich freue mich auf schöne Begegnungen, interessante Gedanken, Informationen und Bildbeiträge.

Den Umgang mit tumblr muss ich erst lernen, aber Ihr habt alle Geduld! 😉

My Facebook Days are Numbered. Member since 2009. Awesome networking medium for both business, friends, family, and people you thought you would never hear from again.

But first and foremost, having contributed to the crafting and passage of the Data Privacy Act of 2012,  I am a staunch advocate of Data Privacy and value my Personal Information with conviction. The amount of information that it has acquired is just way too much for comfort.

I thought I was well-protected for a long while as I have been diligently fine-tuning all the privacy settings but then you  have to wonder about this 'free service'. It has been said many times and I think it's time we really give it a long hard look - "If you are not paying for a Product. Then You Are the Product!"

Tim Cook in his address recently at Brussel's Data Privacy Day  could have not put it more bluntly. Please read, masticate, and digest really well.

So unless there will be radical changes (which I don't think will happen anytime soon) - This is my Farewell Notice.
