A few years ago, I was in a season of “no.”
I felt like everything I was doing was walking away from things.
And while I needed to be walking away from the things I was walking away from, I didn’t feel like I was walking towards specific good things, only away from toxic things.
Decluttering can be similar.
I have spent a lot of time over the past 6 weeks focused on decluttering – the “walking away” aspects of uncovering real. Walking away from things, walking away from clutter, walking away from a life driven by mindless consumption.
This has been an important part of “uncovering real” – the removal of what covers over real.
I am excited to spend some time now exploring things to “walk toward” – the embracing of the real that exists under so many of those layers.
So, I am planning on spending the next few weeks walking towards connecting:
Connecting with my environment – time outside every day in the real world
Connecting with my food sources – growing some ingredients myself and purchasing real food from local vendors when possible
Connecting relationally – intentionally growing real friendships and relationships with people
I’m looking forward to sharing the ways I’m connecting, and if you have a favorite hiking trail, recipe, farmer’s market, or tips about other ways you connect with the world around you, send me a message!
