The first week of December came and went, and the MILLIE team was busy at work. We shared another beautiful #IamMILLIE story, we launched the biggest and most populated base in the U.S. (can you guess which one it is?) and we made an appearance on the Blue Star Families blog!

We’ve included links (for easy sharing), the copy for the posts (in case you’ve already used up all your creative juices today), the hashtags (for optimal millennial reach) and the MILLIE logos and branding information (in case you want to feature us on your front page or something).

If you’re one of our partners, please send us what’s been happening in your world lately by emailing me at alexis@gomillie.com.

Dec. 6, Tuesday — Base Launch (video) — Fort Hood

Post Copy: This week’s #MILLIE shares how separation has prompted the greatest growth, and how she finds grace in the “extraordinary spaces found between the unpredictable and the unforeseen.” Kelsy Timas of the Guiding Wellness Institute has some inspiring words and we know you’ll enjoy her story!
