I had a day of shock and despair (mainly because I would have liked to say goodbye to people), but now I'm actually OK about it. Lots of people have written to me to encourage me to set up a new account and start again (I can't get the other account reinstated because I used "x" as my last name and therefore was in breach of new policies AND can't prove my identity). I started by setting up a blog to write my truth, all the other platforms were meant to be support systems, but they slowly started taking up a lot of time... so I think I'm taking this as a sign to "return to my roots" as it were, and just be on one site. I've stopped posting to Instagram and Twitter-X etc but I'll keep them open so I can talk to people. I'm embracing the opportunity to be free of the internet... it's quite liberating!
I had a feeling there would be a deeper reason to explore in all of this. I’m so happy you’ve returned to your roots with it. It’s an incredible healing sign 💜
I stopped Instagram and Facebook the other year and chose Substack and linked in as my main platforms.
They served a great purpose (to show up and write) but they weren’t where my people were.
thank you Amber (PS - my LinkedIn has been suspended (I don't know why) so I'm not able to log in or comment anymore.) Linda xx
Oh my gosh, Linda!!! Can’t imagine how you feel. (I’m on a linked in break so haven’t been on there in over a week)
In a bizarre twist of fate, I feel like this is an intentional forced break for you from there. Though I appreciate it may not feel that way.
How are you feeling about it - are you losing your mind or embracing the experience and learning to trust in the unfolding of it all?

Thank you for that restful moment, Amber! Sending you a little extra courage and strength, and kindness and love to myself today
Love and kindness, beautiful 💚 you’re welcome Lisa 😍
