If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. -George Washington

January 10, 2021

Like others who are fed up with having their right to free speech censored and suppressed by certain social media behemoths, I will be off Facebook by the end of the month. If it weren’t for the Gratitude 365 group page, it would be sooner, but I have to be sure that the new website is up and running smoothly before I cut the ties for good. It should be tweaked and ready to go in a week.

I’ll still blog on Midwest Gypsy at least once a month, and probably more since I won’t be spending time on social media. To satisfy my need and desire to stay connected with friends and family, I’ve vowed to go old-school—that is, make phone calls. There will definitely be a silver lining to this change.

I’m sure I’ll miss scrolling through my feed and reading what’s new, but then again maybe not, considering a very small percentage of my Facebook “friends” actually show up there. So good-bye for now…I wish you all peace, love, and harmony this year. Stay healthy, be safe, and remember to wash your hands. ☺️
