Unplugging

I Deactivated my Facebook. I know, crazy, I always think the when other people do such. I already got a few text asking why I defriended someone. I didn't unfriend you. It's not gone forever. But I will be off for some time. I also canceled my Netflix, Hulu etc. It's all part of a new commitment I am making to take care of me and spend more time in real life. So far my commitment has included more of the following:

• Temple attendance
• Walking around the neighborhood 
• Meeting new people
• Taking classes
• Exploring my city
• Going on culinary adventures
• Planning camping/fishing trips
• Writing a cookbook
• Painting
• Being more productive at work
• Writing genuine hand written letters
• Talking face to face with real people
• Really preparing my primary lessons
• Eating better and making it all from scratch.
• Concerts in the park
• Calling home
• Gallery Strolls
• Reading in the hammock
• Keeping my room clean
• Intensive scripture study
• etc.
• etc.
• etc.

I bought this book while Kayla and I were exploring a boutique at 9th and 9th called Hip and Humble.

It has a lot of great ideas and we are doing them!

I am still blogging (obviously). I will still instagram. Follow both and hopefully you will notice the changes in myself that I already have. Text me your address and I'll write you a letter. Seriously.

I have already noticed a difference in my energy levels,  my relationship with my savior, my general happiness, my gratitude, and my creativity.

P.S. The other night Kyle D and I went for a walk through the neighborhood. He would change our route as he saw trees that he thought might smell good. I noticed last night that my entire neighborhood just smells like spring.

I didn't defriend anyone. I am simply trying to be a better friend to myself, and in the end a better friend to all of you.
