How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
Unplugging is hard for me. I use the Internet to promote my business and do vendor events. Those weeks it’s very busy as you have to participate as well as promote. Every Sunday for over a year now I unplug on Sundays. I will check my emails in the mornings. At first it was hard and now I love it.
I find other things to do that day. I need to completely unplug for more than one day. I think I will try to do more days maybe now the summer is coming. I will let you know.
Beauty from Ashes. 
Unplugged
She kept on and on and on
Every time I moved … she responded
Every time I spoke … she responded
I endured
The relentless contributions
She insisted making
The relentless corrections
The relentless refusals
The relentless determination to correct
She felt like a parent
And so it was
One very early morning before the break of dawn
That I crept towards her as she slept
In spite of my loneliness
I pulled
out
the
plug
Alexa was no more.
