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. Countless times, I’ve looked on my phone, only to remember I’ve removed all those social apps. I saw a sunrise the other day I wantedContinue reading “Hiatus Day Three – Reflections”

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”

Lenten Sabbatical from Social Media

In past years, I’ve taken a leave of absence from social media during the season of Lent. In looking at this year’s calendar, I hadn’t realized the Lenten season starts on Valentines Day. Given the fact it was already February 9th, I had to decide if indeed I would be absent from all social mediaContinue reading “Lenten Sabbatical from Social Media”

100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Seven

Hiatus from social media nearly done. The question is, do I really want to go back? It’s been a long while since I’ve visited social media websites. I decided for a myriad of reasons that a break from social media was appropriate for this year’s “doing without.” So beginning on Wednesday, February 22 of thisContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Seven”

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-Four

I have several sets of “oracle” or “tarot” cards that I will sometimes make a draw from to find out what it has to say. There are also online versions and the draw I made from one of those this evening was quite interesting and insightful. VULTURE SPIRIT Nothing is wasted Protection Message: Do you wishContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Four”

100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Three

Two-and-a-half weeks into my hiatus from social media and all is well. I’ve even contemplated not going back once Easter Sunday has arrived. Time will tell…. Twenty-some-odd days into staying away from social media and I can actually say I’m not missing it all that much. At least not as much as I did theContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Three”

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”

100 Days of Writing – Day Sixty-Seven

I’ve made a decision to take a break from social media…the only question is for how long. 2022 has been a year of many changes in my life. A lot of what I’ve experienced has been chronicled on social media. As I prepare to start a new year, I’ve decided to take at least aContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Sixty-Seven”
