What would make life feel more full?
What would make it more beautiful?
More artful, more free, more true?
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
Everyone come over, get closer,
be casual , stay late and talk about
things that matter, laugh and roll
around in ideas, silly jokes
repeated, kids barefoot, messy,
nothing perfect.
Be dramatic or quiet, eat and
cook, dance and sleep.
Do it every day or once a week.
Rely on this warmth. Be
familiar with each other, shared
stories, depth or levity, just
together under our roof, our
stars, our sense of connection
relentless and satisfying. Jacquline suskin

Librarian here, replying to “Deleted Post”, whose son got angry about a parent posting news about the letter writer posting a photo of the son’s wedding to social media. The letter writer wrote, “I feel bad because my son seems to feel he can forbid me from sharing this news with my friends.”
I have noticed that many people default to “owning” their social media accounts and therefore the right to post whatever they like. Friends and family members will take photos, or, sometimes worse, be browsing their old files and snap a pic of an ancient photo and share it online.
Enthusiastic and informed consent is the way to go here. Show the people in the photo the photo first. Before you post, ask, “Do you mind if I post this on [this platform]”? Every. Single. Time.
You don’t own their faces. There are lots of reasons someone might not want a photo posted, ranging from it simply being an unflattering shot, to future employers Googling their name, through to hiding from an abusive ex or being in witness protection.
Even with privacy settings locked down, the Terms of Use that we all click “agree” to, usually without reading, give the online platform free range of whatever you post. The landscape is entirely different. The way we post and share must be, too.
Dear Caution: This is an important reminder for everyone. When it comes to someone’s digital footprint, it’s always better to ask permission than to ask for forgiveness after posting. And when it comes to sharing personal news online, it’s best to ask oneself, “whose news is this?” If it’s your news, you can share it. If it’s someone else’s news, even if that person is a child or close relative, get their OK. Or better yet, let them share it and follow their lead.
this is your reminder, your note to self. Enjoy your life. Pause for the small moments that make up your days. From making your bed to kissing a loved one goodby or good night, and all the small every things in between.And one more thing…..don’t wait! Don’t hesitate. You’ll never regret bringing more joy into your life. Be it a spontaneous meal shared with friends. Traveling last minute to a foreign land. Getting up early to see the sunset. Saying something kind and beautiful that might make someone’s day. Have the courage and fortitude to how up for yourself, and on behalf of others.Try it on for day. Make it your Sunday Slowdown practice. A conscious effort to enjoy life more mindfully. See what happens when you do. Nothing in your life may have changed, only the way you see the world. And that is everything.Sending you love today and all the days, – Alisa
