Even The Most Boring, Mundane Events Get Put On Social Media

Locking Keys Inside The Car Requires Creative Efforts To Avoid A Long Wait
Teamwork and Lending a Helping Hand Are Common In Orlando

People who grow up learning things digitally versus the Baby Boomers who learned from a paper page or chalk board, have far less fear (none) and apprehension using social media.

Friends Sharing Good Times Is A Big Social Media Selling Point

Friends Sharing Good Times Is A Big Social Media Selling Point

Friends sharing good times has always been a fabric of our lives. Baby Boomers can remember the parties, life events, and milestones from their memory. Plus there was always a person (with my friends/family it’s me) labeled shutterbug who captured the stuff on “film”.

Now, like the photo above, no film or paper is ever involved. No restricted viewers. Anything goes. It no longer matters, because everyone is doing it. It’s the new norm.

Professional development class from April 2010

 

Who we are at work and who we are at home are often two souls in the same Baby Boomer body. Why? For starters, Boomers have been conditioned to believe they must act a certain way at work.

If Midlife Responsibility Matters, Does Random and Ridiculous?

Random, ridiculous and beeresponsible?

The thing that excites jeff noel most about Mid Life Celebration’s next month is that there are unlimited possibilities, because so much has been done to lay the foundation for prolific blogging. Like a physical building, the foundation has been laid, the walls are up, but the outside exterior walls can be made with any texture and painted (if necessary) with any color.

PS. If you’re new to Midlife Celebration, today’s post may not initially make sense. Trust that I’m always going somewhere with every message. Always. And does that website really translate into: “be eresponsible”?
