What did we ever do before the Phenom of Facebook?  It is where people turn for companionship and to relieve boredom. To learn what is happening in the world, without watching the news. It serves the purpose of entertainment and to gain a different perspective,  as well as to rally the troops for one’s particular world view. It gives people a place to vent and offer/receive support. It is a place for requesting and sending prayers and healing energy. It is a place in cyberspace where someone offering a product or service can spread the word.

I have come to the conclusion that it is even more effective at helping folks get to know each other, than a dating profile, because it reveals interests and hobbies, political and sometimes spiritual affiliation, relationship status, who our friends are and how we handle discord or disagreements.

What does your Facebook page say about you? Mine says that I am a love-advocate, way left of center, gracefully aging, tree-hugging eco-hippie, colorfully creative writer and God(dess)-infused universal traveler, collector of heart-friends and kindred spirits, ever more daring explorer, emotional bungee jumper, cheerleader, PR Goddess, cosmic concierge, connector, seasoned wild woman, compassionista, Bliss Mistress, opti-mystic who is adding more descriptives each day.
