The Friday Five: A Few Favorite Finds

By Wanda

newyear_goodreads

Happy New Year Friends!

I hope each of you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and I pray that your new year has started off full of God’s grace, love and joy. I had the opportunity to bask in several days away from work and I thoroughly enjoyed the time of leisure.

Welcome to the first edition of The Friday Five of 2014! It’s a new year but the mission remains the same—to shine the spotlight on a few good reads I have come across during my blog reading. So without further ado, this week’s blog love goes to the following:

Eight things you can live without by Lindsay at Medium

5 Things You Can Do in Response to the Decrease in Facebook’s Organic Reach at Andrea Vahl

Letter to God at Will Your Hear From Me

Rewriting Resolutions & Choosing One Word by Mary at (in)courage

THE POST-CHRISTMAS BLAHS at Sharon Sharing God

    Thanks, Wanda, for the recognition this week! I appreciate it.

    We had a quiet New Year’s Day, and I can hardly believe that it is already 2014!! It’s seems like it was just yesterday that everyone was freaking out about Y2K (remember that??)

    This next week I’ll be posting about the *word* that God has given me for this coming year. It surprised me, and I’m just wondering what God’s up to! Working this word into my life and my heart is going to be an adventure!

    Happiest New Year!

    And GOD BLESS!

      Yes, I do remember when everyone was so sure that it was cause major outages. Thanks for that laugh Sharon. I look forward to seeing what your word choice will be for the year. I’ve seen some interesting picks thus far. I think one of my favorites is Jennifer’s. Hers is anyway.

    Wanda, could you explain “organic reach”? How will Facebook’s new policies affect my Facebook author page? Thanks, my friend. I know you understand these things far better than I do.

      I’m by no means an expert on the topic but the best way I know to describe is as the opposite of paid advertising. Whereas before everyone that like your page was seeing your content less and less people are actually seeing that information being displayed in their FB news feed. I think the great take away is to use your own site has the central hub and to focus on building email lists since those are places in which you are in control.

        Thank you, Wanda! That clears things up some. And I am okay with that. By combining them it is one less “page” I need to manage.
