Several weeks ago, Facebook deactivated my personal account. It also deactivated all connections to my groups and pages. It deleted all administrators as well so no one can access them. The pages and groups are just sitting there in limbo. I had over 181,000 followers on Sacred Journey page and almost 19,000 in the group. My other small pages are also in limbo. For months I had been feeling the nudge to get off social media but at the time I was working as a social media strategist and content creator. At the beginning of January, 2022, I let the job go. I kept getting a feeling that something was coming.

I want to do intuitive sessions full time.

I want to write more books.

I kept feeling during meditation that my time on Facebook was coming to a halt.

I loved writing on my personal pages daily. I also loved the interaction with people. Truth be told, I can go into hermit mode quickly. Facebook was a way for me to connect with the world. But it isn't the end of it!

Being off the largest social media platform has been liberating. It has allowed me to return to me and what is present. I would get lost on FB when I didn't want to deal with my own stuff. It can be an addiction of sorts.

Folks have reached out to me sharing their dismay and anger at how FB deactivated my accounts. I don't ever write anything controversial. I don't post things that can cause arguments. I am an unconfrontational person. I only posted positive and uplifting material. Yet, that rubbed someone in the FB gods the wrong way (insert sarcasm)!

Here is what I have felt: social media isn't real. It's a way to connect with others. It's an opinionating forum. My contacts and the pages that I followed didn't involve political material. I only saw through beautiful windows. FB was a place to be inspired, and I believed I was doing the same for others.

The Universe is working here in mysterious ways. I can't explain it but it has done me a favor. I am more present with what is here now. If the FB gods decide that I am worthy to be reactivated at some point, great! If not, then awesome! In the meantime, I would love to connect through this website. I will start creating more blogs. I started my writing career through blogging, and I will return to that.

Everything in life is a gift. Some gifts aren't easy or fun. They can be challenging, heartbreaking, and full of powerful lessons. This isn't one of them for me. It's about shifting the narrative and realigning with simplicity. The last two years have helped me grow spiritually and emotionally. I have learned deep lessons about myself that I had not known were possible.

I love you.
