Live a better life through community

Hey everyone! It’s been awhile since my last blog post, but I’m going to be blogging more now (you’ll read why in a sec) and I hope you will join me! I’m excited to let you guys know about some pretty cool stuff that the StrengthofUs team and I have come up with.

We were thinking about how awesome you all are and how great it would be if there were more ways for you guys to use the site, share stuff, have fun and get to know each other better. We also think every young adult deserves to feel hopeful, supported and encouraged to love who they are.

So with all of this in mind we came up with some new, ongoing daily activities!

Here is what you can expect starting next week:

Monday: Make it Happen! In the Taking Charge group, I will be empowering users to accomplish their goals and dreams. Join the group and check-in every Monday to receive step-by-step guidance on setting and achieving goals and encouragement from other users.

Tuesday: We are expanding Think Positive! Instead of just posting positive prompts, we’re going to be posting videos, success stories, inspirational quotes and much more. HalfofUs.com has generously let us post their videos of celebrities sharing how they combated mental health issues, like suicidal ideation, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, self-injury and more. Here’s a sneak peek.

Wednesday: Write it out! I’ll be writing fun, creative prompts for you to blog about. So make sure to check out the latest Blogs (on the homepage) every Wednesday to read and write.

Thursday: Tips and Tricks! I’ll be posting all sorts of resources on my Blog that can help you seize the day or just make a really delicious meal (Yum).

Friday: TGIF! On Fridays I will be posting contests, games, giveaways, reviews or whatever else to make sure you have a fun weekend! Check out My Wire Posts on Fridays to stay in the loop.

I understand that new stuff can always be an adjustment, but I am here to answer any questions. Also, these activities are completely optional so you can choose whether to participate or not.

I am super pumped and I can’t wait for Monday (and all the other days!). I hope to see you all on.

Feel free to leave a comment below to let me know what you think about all of this. I enjoy hearing from you!
