A few weeks ago, we were visiting family in Calgary and our 12-year-old grandson wanted to go to Mass with us. It was only his second time at a Mass. At Saint Patrick’s Church, that morning, an abundant amount of incense was used, and our grandson was curious as to what all the smoke was about. I told him that the smoke rising from the censer was symbolic of our prayers rising the Heaven and that as that scent floated over and descended on the congregation it was symbolic of us all inhaling God’s spirit. He could think of it as a form of Catholic vaping.

Perhaps you are aware of the latest trends on social media. One that I am aware of is the claim that many men are dropping out of the dating scene and opting for single life, while many young women are either not interested in marriage, or if they are, they can’t find men. There are various reasons...from the disparaging of permanent relationships (marriage) and the promotion of cohabitation which has no guarantees of security, no fault divorce – in which custody battles for children and money can go on for years – promiscuity, pornography, the promotion of beauty above character, and the erosion of parental rights. I believe these claims, as I see many Millennials who are unmarried.

In the social media world building your “brand” is the way to go. To be successful in that venue you need to manufacture an online identity that will generate “clicks”. So, at the start of your branding project how do you determine what your baseline identity is?

A Note to our Readers

Dear readers, note that there has been a change made to the far180 blog in order to make past posts more accessible. Blog postings for roughly the past year can be found on the main "FAR180 Journal" page. Now any earlier posts can be more easily accessed by going through our "Blog Archives" section listed immediately below this paragraph by selecting a month and year link. If you do browse through the archived blog posts on any of the "FAR180 Journal" pages, just remember that in order to get back to the main blog page where the most current posts are, go to the top menu and under "MEDIA" select "BLOG - JOURNAL". You can know whether or not you are on the current posts page, rather than an archive posts page, because in the latter case you will see a "Filters" section just above the posts and in the former it will not be there.
