Sayonara šŸ‘‹ Iā€™m going to be so NOT available for the next little bitĀ as I recover from ā€œtoo much people-ingā€ recently. To be transparent, as much as I LOVE people šŸ’• these last 2 weeks have had me in full blown ā€œONā€ mode as Iā€™ve been checking in on my people, communicating updates, giving extra time to ensure everyoneā€™s being tended to, and going back and forth communicating on so many (too many??) platforms as everyone and their mom has hopped on the virtual bandwagon. Iā€™m poopedā€¦and honestly, Iā€™ve been starting to feel resentful šŸ˜‘ you know when you just want to scream “LEAVE ME ALONE!!” but you know it’s really not any of the people reaching out? šŸ¤¦ In an act of self-care, a mode of protecting my sanity, a way to prevent myself from saying anything out of irritation that I’d regret, and as an example of setting boundaries, Iā€™m lovingly peacinā€™ out āœŒ I wonā€™t be responding to texts or any of my inboxes for my personal life for the next little while ā€“ honestly not sure how long šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø so if you’re reading this and you haven’t heard back from me, now you know why šŸ˜‰ just be glad I didn’t respond in my *mood*!

I know that this will absolutely rub some people the wrong way. I know there will be people who will be offended if I donā€™t respond. There will be people who donā€™t understand this and canā€™t fathom taking some ā€œme timeā€ to unplug from the world around us.Ā Too Bad. Iā€™m not living my life for those people. Iā€™m living my life for God, and Iā€™m of no use to Him if Iā€™m not well-rested, clear of resentment, and making myself available to connect with Him. So, here we gošŸƒā€ā™€ļø

I know everyoneā€™s gotten into intense ā€œconnectionā€ mode with all of this social distancing, and Iā€™m going to encourage you that it is 100% okay to take time to recharge, rejuvenate, recalibrate, and say NO to responding to every single thing that comes across your (metaphorical) desk. Yep. You can do it šŸ‘
