I am inside the build of a community that has gotten married! I began Ask Lynne in June and then opened The Halls, some of you will remember this! Then I took a mental health hiatus and came back to find that the Halls had fallen silent. I was so grateful to my friend who had take them over, but now she too is struggling a bit! Last week I suggested to her and the members of The Halls that I could bring everything into Ask Lynne and this has been going smashingly for the past - oh I do not know, can it really only be 4 or 5 days? Here is where I need your help/idea/brilliance. Ask Lynne has a vast Resource collection in the classroom. 14 individual resources packed with needed material for what I was doing. NOW - the founders from the Halls are joining us and my VIP offers a course in the classroom too! I need to condense and I have been but it has not been easy. Is it ok to put 3 courses together that once lived alone? AND more importantly Can I successfully put more than one offer in a course space and have them both under the umbrella of one course name and then the offers live on separate pages? We all know that most people scroll on their phones. How do I place my resources, my offers and the mini-ad type courses so everyone gets seen. I am staggering them now and moving them around daily. Help, ideas, wisdom? @Donna Thornton @Todd Thornton and everyone else too! Thank you in advance for your ideas.

I am shifting my new group info over this week and struggling on deciding on my new community cover image. Do any of these three jump out to you? Open to other ideas also! Thanks so much Skoologists 🙏

Well, this makes me happy. ❤️ Welcome to Skoolology, @Kathryn Zabinski! Kathryn and I have known each other for a long time, so seeing her walk through this particular door feels pretty special. I’m really glad you’re here, my friend. Now I’m curious...what made you decide to come hang out with us over here? 😊

A mysterious package just showed up with your name on it. Inside is something you would absolutely LOVE to find. No rules. Something you lost. Something you’ve always wanted. Something that doesn’t even exist. 😂 What are you hoping is in the box? Mine would be my grandmother’s recipe book. The funny thing is, there never was one. She made everything from scratch and, as far as I know, never wrote any of it down. We have none of her delicious recipes. So somehow, my mystery box contains the recipe book I wish she had left us. ❤️ What would be in yours?

One thing I’m learning while building The Room is that I don’t have to fill every quiet moment. At first, when things were quiet, my instinct was basically… I should post something. But I’m starting to see that building a community isn’t just about keeping the feed active. It’s also about creating a space where people feel comfortable enough to start their own conversations, reply to each other, or just come in and read without feeling behind. I’m still figuring out that balance. But I think part of building The Room the way I actually want it to feel means learning not to rush in and fill every bit of silence.
