I hate when bloggers start their posts by saying, “It’s been a long time since I’ve written here…” I think to myself: You know what? Nobody missed you. I didn’t miss you, and probably the people who read you regularly or subscribe to your feed didn’t miss you either. We have our own lives. We … Continue reading Nobody Cares When You Leave Facebook

Facebook Might Be Good For Something
Yesterday I was thinking a lot about Facebook and how, ever since I watched that Tristan Harris documentary, The Social Dilemma, I have been really wanting to be done with it. Every time I open the app I feel like I’m stepping into a sandbox in Chernobyl: a toxic, radioactive playground. A place I … Continue reading Facebook Might Be Good For Something
Digital De-Clutter Re-Cap
It was a hard, but insightful month. I hope I can stay aligned.
Digital De-Clutter Day 1
I'm sitting here suffocating in calendars and planners. It's not a bad way to die, actually. Today is New Years Day and I'm a little hung over from too much champagne last night, but before I went to bed I remembered to delete from my phone: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I also deleted The New … Continue reading Digital De-Clutter Day 1
34 Pounds of Flour and Waffles
Yesterday we cleaned out the freezers. The one attached to the fridge, and the chest freezer in the basement. In the process I discovered I had 34 pounds of flour. And I rarely bake. What am I doing with all this flour? Oat flour, quinoa flour, Pillsbury Unbleached while, Bob's gluten-free baking flour, Superfine rice … Continue reading 34 Pounds of Flour and Waffles
I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Imagine what would have happened if the artist who drew Where's Waldo? had put just a little more space around Waldo? We would have picked him out immediately, right? When there is just a little more space around things, they come into view; we can see them. They can move and breathe and make choices. Today when … Continue reading I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
The Problem with Facebook
Thanks to my power juice, and rest, and lots of reading, I think my bout of the crud is on the way out. I felt energetic enough this afternoon to go to Wegmans and re-stock the fruits and veggies. In the Nature's Marketplace section I ran into one of my friends and yoga students and … Continue reading The Problem with Facebook
Sitting on the couch, reading.
So just in time for Spring Break, I am battling some kind of upper respiratory thing. (greaaaat..) Nothing like a garbage-y cough and a woozey head to start the weekend. My first day of Facebook-less-ness went off without a hitch. Don't even miss it. It was so easy, I gave up Pinterest, too. I am … Continue reading Sitting on the couch, reading.
Media Fast
I was talking to Emily the other day, and the conversation turned to what we are reading these days. Em always has a book or two going, and she was telling me that her employees are all voracious readers, too. When they are on break at work, they all sit and read. She loves that … Continue reading Media Fast
What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
