March 27, 2013. Bring Sammie Smiles!Michael De Peri, a Groovy Reflections follower on Twitter (he is @bongo197) shared Sammie's story with us recently and asked us to spread the word.
Sammie has Batten disease. We've never heard of it and chances are you haven't either. It is a rare terminal degenerative brain disease with no known cure. Little is known on how to treat it. Batten disease effects young children. All causes start with awareness. We are posting Sammie's story here so that you can learn more about it. There is an organization that is raising funds for research so that ways to treat this disease can be found; find them at the BDSRA website. There is a page dedicated to her on Facebook that you can visit as well. We think sharing and caring are GRoovy things to do. Sammie is helping others just by sharing her story. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this beautiful little girl and the hope that she can win her battle against Batten Disease. |

March 26, 2013. We're on Instagram!Our Groovy Reflections founder, Gerry, recently started an account on Instagram and you are invited to join in the fun! These are all her personal observations and are all original photos; she calls them "reflections of all those little slices of life".
There are a few themes that will show up often: Cars, flower power, GRoovy old records and other nostalgic stuff, plus those "in the face moments" ...oooh gotta get a pic...now! ...at any rate, it's a GRoovy place to see some great photos! 99.9% of them will never be shown on our Facebook page, nor shared with our G+, Pinterest, or Twitter followers. |
March 15, 2013. ...Inkredible!Our friends at PeopleBrowser, noble keepers of the GRoovy Kred, have awarded the distinct honor of being in the top 1% regarding our influencing expertise! This distinction is based on Twitter and Twitter alone; sadly, they don't have the capability to measure Facebook pages at this time (for the record, they DO have the ability to measure Facebook personal pages though). We are thrilled, chilled and excited and promise to continue bring Kredible GRooviness to all our GRoovy Twitter followers!

October 24, 2012 - What? No Morning Trivia?We're still trying to figure out the issue where comments are suddenly all out of order on our Facebook page posts. That's the reason why we canceled morning trivia for now. If everything is jumbled we can't possibly know which comments come in at what time!
We conducted an experiment earlier on our sister page, ModlandUSA. The ordering of comments was NOT affected, suggesting that not all pages have the issue. Hoping it's a Facebook glitch that will soon be resolved! We'll likely conduct an experiment or two on the GR page. Also, we're looking for a temporary solution. We'll keep you posted on all this. Peace. |

September 21, 2012: Endeavour!GR founder and team member Gerry gets around! Last spotted in New Jersey (see our August 15th post below) she was caught jumping up and down with joy while holding a serious camera earlier today.

A bittersweet day as the Endeavour is grounded but will be seen and enjoyed by many in the future. If you'd like to see more pics, go to our contact form here and ask for them!
