You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

When I get some great news, the first thing i want to do is tell my loved ones about it! Actually, that’s probably the second thing I do. The first thing I do is allow myself to bask in it for a few minutes and allow myself a few minutes to calm down. But if there is a partner in my life, my kids, my immediate family members, I share the good news with them first.

The next thing I do, and this probably is never a good idea – is to share it on social media. Of course, this depends on what the good news is. For instance, if I won the lottery, I would NOT be broadcasting it. But if I am starting a new job or one of the boys has a great accomplishment, I definitely will post to social media about it; not to brag, but to share the good news with as many people as I can.
