Ever been caught in a state of questioning yourself as to whether you should keep someone on your social media account? We've all been there. If you're questioning it, must be some reason behind it. Anyone you're thinking twice about needs to go. Could be a coworker, old acquaintance, an in-law, or just a person you no longer have interest in hearing from or seeing updates from. Just let em' go. It's your social media account, you have every right to weed out people. If anyone takes it personal that's on them. You are in charge of your own happiness. I've unfollowed and removed so many people on the simple basis that their posts are ignorant and annoying and they make me hate the publisher. Instead of hating anyone I just unfollow their feed. No more problems. Happy me! If the person is someone you actually dislike or have reason to remove that requires a more permanent basis I recommend blocking. Don't question it; just do it. Move

Second Survivor meeting for 2015!

It's the third week of the month again! This means our second survivor meeting of 2015 is this Thursday, February 19, 2015. If you are a survivor of homicide or a friend of a family's who has endured such a tragedy, come to our support meeting this Thursday evening located at 126 W Adams Street (5th floor, conference room) Parking is free on the streets after 6:00 P.M. and our meetings typically begin 5:30 P.M.-6:00 P.M. and go on until 8:00 P.M. Refreshments are provided and stories are shared. Meet others who first hand know what you are going through. You do not have to speak or share your story at all, sometimes listening is enough. If you care to share, however, all ears will be for you. I attended January's meeting and left feeling very humbled. It was sad, inspiring, tearful, fun, and over all meaningful and helpful. Don't be afraid to come by, just show up, and find out what we are all about at Compassionate Families. -ssr
