If you're already connected to me on Xanga, you may also be connected to me on Twitter and Facebook as well.

But, I'm also on Instagram.

For the most part I share pictures I take with my Smartphone while I'm on my daily walks.   Above is one of the pics.

Please take a moment to follow me... and I hope you like the pics.

Ok, so who is Guardian Locate - and what is this all about?  and why did I post this on my Xanga blog to be promoted everywhere?

First:

Guardian Locate is a company that provides business and personal tracking systems.  This includes GPS tracking.
They are also an advertiser for Autisable.com.  One major reason that Autisable's logo is on this Giveaway/campaign.

Wandering/Elopement in the Autism community is as high as 50%.   Some of those who wander make their way into the news, with the most undesired outcome.
Many tracking systems that are on the market are rather expensive to the average Autism family, and Guardian Locate wants to make a difference.

They will be launching an indiegogo campaign to help keep costs low.   Of course there are countless investor's willing to be a part of the company, but many of those investor's worry about 'the bottom line' as to what they will be making.  Once the crowdfunding campaign is launched, I'll be sharing that as well.

The heart of those who have founded this company is to help save lives.   They have partnered with Project Lifesaver International - a long established organization that works with First Responders worldwide - to bring about the best in tracking technology and training -to help find lost loved ones.

Second:

Autisable is currently being worked on to relaunch.  Right now the Xanga team is addressing the theme of the site, and also how to manage ads on the site.... along with other Xanga related issues as previously discussed.

Normally this is something that would be an Autisable blog - but being that the Xanga community has been such an integral part of Autisable coming this far, and with the support of The Xanga Team - I'm sharing this beyond the Autism community at large.

As an added note - wandering/elopement also impacts families dealing with Alzheimer's.   By reaching beyond the autism community and through any other outlet - we can help both major communities dealing with Autism and Alzheimer's.

And Lastly:

The other logo's on the picture above relate to:
- 'Lost and Tired'... a dad with three children with who are on the Autism Spectrum (and who is a co-founder of Guardian Locate)..

- 'Fun and Function' - a collaborative company providing tools and toys to help the special needs community.

To kick things off, Guardian Locate is doing an Xbox One giveaway!

This is a means by which you can win an Xbox without paying or contributing money, and at the same time help share with everyone what great things Guardian Locate is doing!

Who knows, in the process of you sharing and trying to win an Xbox - you may be shining the light on a product that could help a family dealing with Autism or Alzheimer's in saving a lost loved one.

Hello everyone, and welcome back from the Holiday's... and Happy New Year!

It isn't that I really went anywhere during the Holiday's - but rather that due to family scheduling I wasn't able to be online that much to blog and update various sites.

Life does that - doesn't it?  You try and plan to address several things, but those curve balls called life moments swing on by and priorities take over.

In any event, I'm back.

I did receive word that the Themes and some programming for Autisable are continuing to progress and I should receive an update soon.

I will be following up with John to see if there is any major updates with Xanga,  and will advise accordingly once anything new has happened.

While things are moving forward with Autisable's relaunch, we're also double checking to make sure all social media outlets are geared up and ready to roll, along with an e-mail campaign to reach out to all the syndicated bloggers and organizations we've been working with over the years.

On that note, I'll also be updating my personal social media accounts as well this month.

There is one thing that is needed ...  content for Xanga's facebook page.

So, if you have a link that you'd like to be shared on Xanga's facebook page - please feel free to share it. (and please make sure it's safe for work viewing/reading)

Have a great day!
