A Social Media Sabbatical

This morning Gwen Bell announced that she is taking July off.  A digital sabbatical where she wont be

• blogging
• reading blogs
• twittering
• updating facebook
• checking email often

Gwen writes about how, in our culture, taking time away for ourselves isn't super encouraged.  I want to take this month to refocus.  To re-prioritize.  To be present in every moment I am in, and not frantically refreshing my twitter feed.

My life feels like it's on the brink of something big.  And when big things happen, I promise to share them... but right now... I am unplugging.  Taking the apps off my phone and instead:

I will:

• Journal by hand.
• Read books.
• Spend time without my phone.
• Have conversation with people in real life.
• Drink coffee while walking the streets.
• Draw.
• Cuddle.

I will be back in August.  

If you would like some email love:  HabbalaBlogs@gmail.com is where I am.  I will respond to emails eventually.  :)

While taking a break... I will be replaying this song over and over and over and over again..

In your ocean I'm ankle deep

I feel the waves crashing on my feet

It's like I know where I need to be

I can't figure out

No, I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe

When your wave crashes over me

There's only one way to figure out

Will you let me drown

Will you let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire

Cause I just want

Something beautiful to touch me

I know that I'm in reach

I am down on my knees

And waiting for

Something beautiful

And the water is rising quick

And for years I was scared of it

We can't be sure when it will subside

So I won't leave your side

No I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire

Cause I just want

Something beautiful to touch me

I know that I'm in reach

I am down on my knees

And waiting for

Something beautiful
