When I meet people casually, not for a long deep conversation, I'm probably not going to hang out all my laundry for them. Am I lying because I don't share my struggles? I don't think so. It's just not the time nor the place. Before Facebook came into existence, I have had women share they thought I was an organization queen and the most amazing mother. Ugh! Of course, if they had spent some time with me, they would soon discover, I DON'T have it all together. I dropped my 1 week old baby down the stairs, I'm ugly with my kids more than I would like, and sometimes I just don't make dinner because I don't feel like it. For what it's worth, I think you do a wonderful job of balancing the 'being real' with the inspirational. Keep at it. You're right where God wants you.

But there seems to be a perception that the things people share on Facebook contribute to a falseness, a facade that our lives are perfect. <br /><br />I've heard from several people that they find me really impressive on FB, which leads me to wonder what kind of an image an I (subconsciously or not) projecting?Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914061059726574864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161344181552514827.post-19314638307244491222013-02-27T13:46:02.547-08:002013-02-27T13:46:02.547-08:00First a disclaimer: I do not nor have I ever done...First a disclaimer: I do not nor have I ever done FaceBook.<br /><br />I doubt if everyone is supposed to share every little detail of their life publicly. Who has the time? Who cares?<br /><br />Your blog posts are good. they share some of your experiences - both good and frustrating. It looks like you could just post what you choose to let others know, that is, what you choose to disclose about life's happenings or your thoughts.Ol' Dadnoreply@blogger.com
