VIDEOS
Having noticed Facebook’s “Live Video” was an option for posting from my smart phone, I attempted to do that Thursday evening, 06/02/2016, from the Old Cars, Strong Hearts page. However, when I hit the option, the message told me it wasn’t available. So, instead, I stepped out of my comfort zone anyway & recorded a video.
Then, when I attempted to upload the 4th video, 06/12/2016, Facebook would not allow-approve it. So, I stepped even more out of my comfort zone & opened OC,SH’s YouTube Channel.
Amazing, isn’t it, what stepping out of a comfort zone will do for you!?
