I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season. December 31st was my last night on Facebook for awhile and I’m not sure if I’ll go back. I’ve given it up at various times and each time I go back I wonder- why did I do that?
2013 certainly did not begin in the way we wanted it to in my house. We got to witness how quickly the world can come to a halt and everything you hold dear can be threatened. 2013 has begun with the realization of how precious life is and a heartbreaking reminder of what really matters.
Given everything that is going on, I’ve decided to go on a complete media fast. This include all things blogging as well. I will be checking my email because of its relation to work and other things, but besides that I am disconnecting with all things online for 30 days.
I have to surround myself in all things positive right now. And frankly, there’s not much in the online world that is positive. Mostly, it’s a whirling abyss of negativity and media hypnotism. It’s more than that, though. It’s not just the negativity that I am avoiding. I am also avoiding a world that isn’t real.
My focus has to be on what is in front of my face. And what will not be in front of my face right now is a computer screen or a smart phone. I have a mountain that I will be speaking to and putting all of my focus into filling my rooms with love, health, and healing.
Your voice will be missed. All the best for your time offline!
Happy healing and introspection in your time offline. Here’s hoping you return with a renewed sense of purpose and voice.
You’ve inspired me; I’ve taken short (1-2 mos.) facebook-vacations before, and now I’m going to try it again. It’s all just too removed from the ‘real world’ and too time-consuming, too unsatisfying, and not worth it! Thank you!
I guess you just gave me a great idea of taking a facebook-vacation. Hope I’ll get to do it. I love your blog!
