Harley and I have been following your adventures and enjoying watching your new life from afar, but this particular post compelled me to comment. In the early days of social media I felt like it was a great way to keep in touch with old friends and see how people were doing. Watch their kids grow up, etc. it has changed so much and has become so toxic but also I don’t see my friends on social media anymore, all I see are videos and advertisements. When I was writing my food blog regularly that felt like a much more genuine way to chronicle not only recipes but what was going on in our lives. And no social media vitriol. I like the idea of going back to that format. It does seem a lot healthier. Here’s to good health in 2025 and beyond!
Hi Carrie, I notice this also and have needed to close those ads (x in upper right corner) every couple of weeks and that helps bring back more actual friend feed. It’s a very gross way that Facebook has changed but this helps.
You’ve been on my mind! I love reading what you write and also have the maddening habit of thinking-in-post-form. I won’t be leaving socials as they are a lifeline for so many (my long-time community in California was Altadena). Love to you and Marc 🤗
Gratitude is an excellent topic to focus on. No matter what calamities are befalling our world, seeking out even a small thing to be grateful for can make a difference at a key moment. Warmest regards to you and Marc. Frank and Lucinda
I have two friends who would love to contact you as they travel to your area. One is Elise Magistro, who makes award-winning olive oil www.luretik.com and Léopoldine du Manoir who loves your area and might want to rent from you leopoldinecmj@gmail.com
Lucinda and I might want to rent from you as well. Could I get in touch with you via email? My email is dimarcogallery@icloud.com
All of this sounds wonderful! We have a dear friend in Piedmonte with a restaurant and rooms. They are in the village of Perno, just above Monforte. I highly recommend it. Repubblica di Perno
