How I Got Over My "Facebook Fear"

I don't know what it is about Facebook that causes me so much grief in sharing my site. I guess because with the other social media sites I don't actually know most of the people personally, as opposed to Facebook everyone of my friends is someone that I know personally, with the exception of one person that I met on WA.

I know usually I have good advice to give, but tonight I'm sorry to say that I don't have any good advice to give to you on the issue. I read so many inspirational things and get pumped up to share my content, but when it comes time to share on Facebook I clam up.

The one thing I could think in that moment was "Who is going to share my site when I don't even have the balls to share it myself? Who is going to promote me when I can't even promote myself?" I should have prayed for courage.

But instead I went to the freezer and got out my bottle of Brandy, mixed some with some coke and downed it. Within minutes I was on Facebook inviting everyone to come and like my page and I was using the broom as my "microphone" trying to get my son and nephew to do "karaoke" with me in the kitchen to some contemporary Christian music. HAHA. I know what you're thinking. This so called Christian woman getting tipsy around her kids at 9'oclock in the morning. I never said I was perfect!

Let me just say I'm not an alcoholic and I usually don't drink during the day like that. A bottle of Brandy lasts a few months around my house and I typically drink a drink to relax one night a week after the kids are in bed. I don't know what came over me to make me do that this morning, but I did and there's nothing I can do to change it. Tomorrow is a new day and it won't involve any Brandy!
