istock_000013982089xsmall22The holidays are finally here. People everywhere are busy shopping, decorating and making holiday plans. It’s one of the most exciting times of the year. A great deal of the excitement comes from the anticipation of celebrating with family and friends.

Feeling Connected

More than any other time of the year, the holidays evoke the need to feel connected and to be around people who know where you come from. Shared experiences you have with another person or the hope of creating new experiences with them can be a joy and possibly a comfort during the holidays.

Perhaps you remember an old friend who you lost touch with a few years back. Even though you’re not in contact, you still think about them quite often. Maybe you even feel a little guilty about not staying in touch. The spirit of the holiday season creates a warm atmosphere perfect for catching up with old friends.

Losing Contact with Friends

Losing contact with friends happens to almost everyone. Circumstances in life such as moving away, growing up, changing jobs, getting married or having a family get in the way. Before you know it, you’ve lost contact with many of your friends. And, sometimes we feel the urge to resurrect an old friendship, particularly if the friend was a close one.

Why then haven’t you contacted your old friend? Whether it’s a co-worker from a previous job or a close friend from high school or college, wouldn’t it be wonderful to reach out to them at this time of year? After all, this is the season of hope, good cheer and giving. The holiday season is also about memories – making new ones and reliving old ones.

How to Find Old Friends

Perhaps you simply do not know where to begin to find your friend. So then, how do you go about finding an old friend? The best place to start is with a reliable people search service. We recommend using one with unlimited searches for one low cost.

Find your lost friends

You don’t need a lot of information to find your lost friends. You can start your search with just their name. If you know the state, you can add that to your search parameters.

New Holiday Memories

Holiday memories are the warmest of moments and make lasting impressions. You keep those memories with you throughout your life. Often these fond memories are what carry you through the tough times. There is no better time of the year to reconnect with lost friends, reminisce about the good times you had and more importantly, make new memories that will last a lifetime.

Looking Ahead to 2011

The articles below range from Reviews of different Public Records services to Online Scam Alerts to handy helpful hints, all in the name of safe-keeping. I hope you enjoy them! (Got an idea for a great new article? Drop me a note.)

It’s hard to believe but 2010 is almost over. I am always amazed at how quickly the holidays sneak up on us. With that in mind, now is a great time for you to take stock and make sure you are taking all the necessary precautions to keep your family safe. Unfortunately, the holidays seem to bring out some rather unscrupulous characters. I am making changes to this blog in order to ensure you have a safe holiday season and that this safety continues into the New Year and beyond.

Important Changes to the Blog

First I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Belle for the superb job she did in maintaining this blog. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to continue. I wish her the very best in her future endeavors.

Starting this week, I will be taking over the blog. My name is Kim and I will be taking you into 2011 by providing you with regular weekly posts. I promise to bring you up-to-date news, education and tips to make your online and offline lives safe and to help keep you and your families out of harm’s way.

I will personally read all of your comments and questions. I will be in contact daily with the Net Detective support team to ensure all of your inquiries are answered in a timely manner. My goal for 2011 is not only to provide more education but also to ensure your questions are answered.

Please Help Me to Help You

In order to efficiently run this blog, I need you to help me. Please remember if you are trying to find a lost friend, family member, adopted child/parent, roommate or a military buddy, please do not leave your message on this blog page. Any message of this type will not be approved or answered. You must leave these types of messages on the LOST FRIENDS BOARD only! Our wonderful “Friend Fairies” will do their best to provide assistance with your people searches.

On the same token, comments and suggestions for the blog should not be left on the Lost Friends Board.

Making Safety a Priority

As someone who is all about safety and security, I will make it my mission to educate and inform you. In addition to an informative weekly post, I will also give you an important tip each week. Let’s make 2011 the safest year yet!

I look forward to being the voice of this blog.
