Karen Best Wright, B.S., M.A., Holistic Wellness Practitioner
I am excited to announce that I have started a new social media group for grandparents raising grandchildren and other relatives raising relative children. A few months back I closed down, after seven years, the Facebook group I had created and that many grandparents enjoyed. It was time for me to go a different route.
My new group is on MeWe.com. It is similar to Facebook but does not have all of the ads that clog up your newsfeed as well as other feelings of intrusion. The rules for the new group are the same as my old group, which is to focus on taking care of ourselves and the children. It is not meant as a support/gripe group to discuss the problems of birth parents. The group is intended to be informational, inspirational, and fun.
MeWe.com is similar to FB but will take a bit of getting used to. It is free and easy to sign up. If you are interested in this new group, please check it out. Once you have created an account, we can be found at
https://mewe.com/join/retiretoparenthoodraisingkidsafter50
Retire to Parenthood: Raising Kids after 50 (however you do not need to be 50 to join our group). That is just the title of my next book.
I added over 30 members within 3 days of having created the group. Some members came from our old FB grandparent group, and some are new grandparents I have never met.
Hope to see some of you there.
Karen Wright, A grandmother in love with her grandchildren
