Sayonara ? I’m going to be so NOT available for the next little bit as I recover from “too much people-ing” recently. To be transparent, as much as I LOVE people ? these last 2 weeks have had me in full blown “ON” mode as I’ve been checking in on my people, communicating updates, giving extra time to ensure everyone’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. I’m pooped…and honestly, I’ve been starting to feel resentful ? you know when you just want to scream “LEAVE ME ALONE!!” but you know it’s really not any of the people reaching out? ? 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, I’m lovingly peacin’ out ✌ I won’t be responding to texts or any of my inboxes for my personal life for the next little while – honestly not sure how long ?♀️ so if you’re reading this and you haven’t heard back from me, now you know why ? 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 don’t respond. There will be people who don’t understand this and can’t fathom taking some “me time” to unplug from the world around us. Too Bad. I’m not living my life for those people. I’m living my life for God, and I’m of no use to Him if I’m not well-rested, clear of resentment, and making myself available to connect with Him. So, here we go?♀️

I know everyone’s gotten into intense “connection” mode with all of this social distancing, and I’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 ?
