Hiatus Day Three – Reflections

It’s day three of my time away from social media. You truly don’t realize how much something is a part of your daily life until it’s not there any more.

The Hiatus Begins…Day One

Today marks the first day of my Lenten hiatus from all social media. Around this time of day, I’m usually checking Facebook memories and getting my usual posts of the day, which include “Twenty-Four Hours a Day” and “Language of Letting Go,” as well as a punny that I obtain from the past or aContinue reading “The Hiatus Begins…Day One”

100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Six

I’ve been writing in a journal for the past twenty-plus years. It was a suggestion from a therapist who I was seeing at the time. Little did I realize at the time what an important part of my life it would become. I found a journal the other day that I never had finished. IContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Six”

100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-One

Two days in to my Lenten sabbatical from social media and all is well. For the past two days, I’ve been off social media, namely Facebook, and all is going well thus far. My morning routine is definitely at a slower pace since I don’t have to do my daily posts when I awaken. I’veContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-One”
