Facebook with a Cause

Facebook networking is priceless -- whether you are job or client searching, working with a cause of interest to you (such as all my dog groups), or just looking for someone to talk to in the wee hours of the morning when you need a friend! In hours of need, someone is ALWAYS there! That’s priceless in moments of direness. The friends I have made on Facebook are amazing, all of them. I have become closer to some on FB than in real life -- particularly a core group of fantastic women!
***Note: My real-life friends are a very special group and will be the highlight of a future blog, trust me!

For networking I have gone from professional pride to shameless self-promotion and am proud of it! Hey, my forte is marketing! You can't afford not to promote yourself in this economy; this is non-negotiable for survival and gathering work and clients. So, yes, I am proud of promoting me and my clients! ;-)

Here is my Facebook business page for your perusal; please send yourself or leads my way for marketing, writing, editing...the whole gamut of my services>

On the Causes end of the spectrum, giving yourself and your time to a cause and effecting change, saving a dog, making others worldwide aware of a horrific situation such as my Santorini dogs' group -- all this keeps one sane and makes you very useful and necessary in the big scheme of things...here are some of my passions on Facebook...
-------

Heading up a cause near and dear to my heart after living in Oia village on Santorini isle in Greece in 2006 for a marketing consultancy and learning of these atrocities on Santorini and all over Greece. Tourists, beware and be informed and prepared to perhaps bring a dog home with you. Saving them one by one!
