Community

 So kind of you all to check on my mental health. I appreciate it more than you know. I’m dong better. I’m seeking community in real life. The more I limit social media the happier I am. I don’t want curated feeds. I don’t want projected perfection. It makes me crave that feeling more than I should admit. I’m very human in need of a God who guards what’s His. That being said, I added another Instagram account with a working link to the blog for those who want it. I’m being very careful as to who or what I follow. If you want to leave your Instagram handle for me, you can. If not, no problem. 

And it took a stop into a local post office and drug store to make me feel better. Two ladies who took the time to help me, not rush me and told me to take my time. Who gave me their kindness and time. Nothing extraordinary it seemed, but lifted my soul in ways that leaves my soul weeping happy tears. I treasure every good day. Every unexpected moment of joy. Every ounce of love that is in my way to receive. 

Love yourself and one another.

  1. I know what you mean about social media. I'm on Instagram too. I posted yesterday for the first time in awhile. Anyway, my handle is @coffeeteamama
    My page is private to keep trolls and scammers away so you will need to request to follow me. I will look for your name.❤

  2. Give yourself some grace. No one is perfect or has a perfect life.
    I understand about the carefully curated blogs leaving the readers feeling insufficient. I know they do me, especially the ones who never have a mess or mistake in their carefully curated lives.
    I seem to require a lot of grace in my everyday chaotic life. Fortunately God is good.

  3. If I were on Instagram, I'd be happy to follow you, but I'm avoiding all social media. Real life is better! Sending love and blessings!

  4. I step away from the computer from time to time to give me time to consider life. I am not on social media. I avoid it like the plague. The real world is sufficient for me to deal with. Love your honesty.

    Love, Hugs and Blessings

  5. Good to hear. I avoid social media like the plague. I think it's toxic. Never had any accounts and never will.

    Sometimes talking to stranger really changes your day for the better. I think real life interaction is good

  6. I don't really do Instagram. I have an account, but only to check things that others may send me. I don't post anything there. I do have Facebook, but I've been very careful about that, especially lately, as there are still haters out there. I try to use it only as a platform for sharing God's Word and His love. I am so happy God sent some sweet ministering angels to you when you needed them most. That is so like our Heavenly Father! He knows our needs.
