That’s all for this week’s issue of The Social Scoop. Here’s wishing you a wonderful weekend and enjoyable week ahead.
On a personal note, I’m doing my best to pace myself and build up energy this weekend… next week is a BIG week — it’s the first in the series of Facebook’s Boost Your Business events right here in my “back yard,” San Diego! I look forward to meeting many of my peeps there. My team and I just finished updating my full Calendar of Events. So much travel in July-October. Wowee. It’s a jet-set life, but always striving for that coveted balance. (And, I certainly look forward to seeing my father and sisters in Scotland in July – yay!)
Cheers!

It makes sense to share the love of blogging around. But I guess it should be around the niche market you are in? Do you agree with that concept. Cheers Kim 🙂
