Taking a Breather

Facebook turned off last night with a my resolve to ignore it for at least a month.  I took the app off my phone.  It seems like I get to a point every now and then when I feel like a pressure cooker is maxing out in me and I have to shut things down to let me depressurize.  The scrolling, seeing tragedy from news agencies constantly flickering, the heated political environment the past many months, so much anger and vitriol.

I actually am supposed to be helping with the launch of Sally and Nathan Clarkson's new book on social media, but my facebook activity there will be stopping.  I have done some promotion already at this point. This is the big launch week with podcasts, interviews and blogs, but I can't take it anymore.  I'm shutting off.  I'm very excited about this book and what it can mean for families, tho, so you should check it out.  

I shut facebook off for many months (a year?) last time I exited and promised to resurrect this blog, but having learned from experience I am making no promises.  

Well we have a few tasks of education to accomplish this morning so I'm signing off!
