Mostly Facebook, sometimes Twitter. I have Instagram and Pinterest accounts but seldom use them.

My list of 10:
-I've lived in 3 countries (UK, Canada, USA) and sometimes wish I had put down roots and not moved so much.
-Turned 70 last fall and believe that keeping up with technology is part of growing old gracefully.
-Caregiver for my husband who has Parkinsons' disease.
-Crazy about my daughters and grandkids.
-Think I should have gone into music and been a choral conductor. Still sing in a choir.
-Golf is my therapy.
-Seriously think we should add two hours to every day.
-I love the desert, mountains, and ocean.
-I love speaking to groups.
-I believe in a loving God and life after death. I try to live my life accordingly.

I love your list probably because you are so different from me. Thanks for sharing!

I love the gerbil farm story! Who knew there was such a thing! And PEI is somewhere I've always wanted to visit since I fell in love with L.M. Montgomery's books as a young girl.

Great list, Mary. I actually know what a hammered dulcimer is, and used to have records (the old fashioned kind) of their music.

Here we go:
Teenager trapped in an old body.
Recovering introvert.
People watcher, but not in a creepy way.
Need to know why, not just how.
Storage vessel for useless information and trivia.
Total dog person.
Black belt thrift store shopper.
Juggler.
Bicycle addicted.
Still the same daydreamer I was as a kid

Okay, so just from your list and your bio, I see these topics: Family, travel, writing, creativity, coffee, overcoming depression/anxiety, living your best life, cowboys/girls and the West. That's a lot of topics!!! You've got TONS to work with, and I love that you are putting it all out there and embracing your "you-ness."

This post could not have been more needed or more timely, since I'm in the midst of re-doing my writing blog and working up to a more regular/authentic social media presence. Wanted to comment yesterday but had an emergency roto-rooting to deal with (ugh). My Twitter and Instagram accounts are just sitting there, but I have a FB author page: https://www.facebook.com/megwolfeauthor/

Your 12:1 rule is a very good idea, and I will be happy to follow everybody who has posted 🙂
Okay, here goes, Meg in 10 Bullets or Less:

Five a.m. is the magic hour. Likes to work uninterrupted until ten a.m., but that doesn't happen very often.
Gets rid of clutter, knows where everything is at, and sees to keeping everything in good repair.
Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, wine at night.
The family shepherd.
Sign language is now a necessity, but the writer's brain wants to stick with English word order.
Has inexplicable identification with rabbits.
Finally satisfied inner punk rocker by getting black and white hearing aids instead of boring beige ones.
Recently bought first pair of Doc Martens. Best. Boots. Ever. Wear Birks the rest of the time.
Went vegetarian a year and a half ago, wish it had been forty years ago.
When not focused on a writing project, not comfortable in own skin.
