Never Apologize for Unplugging the Technology

A friend of mine told me this after I apologized for not returning her email that same day.  (Thanks, Jamie)

Once in a great while I will plan a day to stay away from my BlackBerry, IPod, Facebook and Twitter and television and be tech free for one day.  It helps me to re-focus and get back in touch with the real world.  That and the fact that I sometimes suffer from information overload.  Do you as well?  We have so much information coming at us all the time that it can be difficult to process it all. 

So, take my friend Jamie's advice and Never Apologize for Unplugging the Technology.  Now, go outside and enjoy some sunshine!

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

The New Year is giving me permission to let things go that are no longer serving me.   For instance, I had a stack of notecards of affirmations from a mindset program I went through last year.   They served their purpose, yet they were still sitting on my desk.  I let them go. Replaying bad memories.  2017 was just one big %*&# show.  The bad memories of 2017 were definitely not serving me.  So I let them go. Belts!  I had three belts hanging in my closet that I have not worn for years.  They were definitely not serving me.  I let them go. After I let these items and feelings go, I felt free - like I was unblocked and able to move forward. Grab YOUR Lifeline to Freedom here! What is no longer serving you?   Is it time?  Do you feel like you haven't even a moment to breathe?  Is it freedom?  Are you able to live your life your way? Do you want to be able to enjoy quality time and not feel rushed?  Do you want to be able to have friends and family over and not h
