Lives

Hello @amelyncruz and @Linduh_58.  I hope you are enjoying your time here in the community.  Are you playing via Facebook?  I ended up going to one of the Candy Crush Facebook groups and asking for friends who were actively playing the game.  Now that I have them I get plenty of lives. 

Also people don't always check the envelope to see if there are friend requests waiting.  I try and check it at least once a week and send lives to the people who have asked for it.  Also - if most of your friends are at levels more advanced than you, unless they go to a lower level (for example to collect sugar drops) below you - you won't receive a life from them if they click on the send Lives Facebook button at the start of the level - because it will only send lives to people who have already completed that level.
