Always great to hear from you, Brittany. Thanks for taking the time to update us. Once again, our lives seem so aligned, and your missive is a great encouragement. I have also been wanting to break up with my phone and have also planned on using my DSLR camera and laptop for things. I find that, when I have my phone in my hand for something legitimate like texting a friend or checking a recipe, it's so easy to let it suck me into social media or even a little mobile game. I often have down time while nursing, and that's usually where the phone comes to help fill a little gap, because why wouldn't I get in some more reading or some internet errands when I have the time, right? But it's a trap and I don't want it to be.
Huge congratulations on your coming 5th child! We hope to be welcoming a fourth in the next year or so come on and it's been such a treat to see how much synchronicity I've gotten to share with you over the years.
It’s always so good to hear from you, Lindsay! I’ve also loved the way our lives have paralleled and how similarly our thoughts have evolved. You’re one of the very few people I still follow on Instagram and I love seeing how you and your family on doing when I occasionally check in there!
Best of luck with growing your family! That’s so exciting!
I always love hearing from you, which is what it feels like when I read one of your pieces. I also live a modern contemplative lifestyle, though very different from yours I find many good takeaways set by your example. Warm congratulations on your new pregnancy.
Congratulations, Brittany! I received your book on Tarot last year for Christmas, and I love going through it (it makes me feel better knowing other people include Tarot as part of their Spiritual practice without being judged for it). I wanted to follow you on Instagram but found your blog instead! I read that you were taking time away from Instagram (understandable, you seem pretty busy!) but this blog post has been a TREAT to read on the first day of Lent!!! I am taking a TikTok Fast, myself, because Tiktok is my time waster, lol. But I'm also trying to be more mindful in Spiritual practices (reading a Saint a day, reading about Guadalupe the Prophecy of the Flower--- you would probably enjoy that one! And of course, my struggle is Bible Study!) Anyway, this was a wonderful read, I thoroughly enjoy your writing and seeing your personality come through!
That part about leaving the monastery every time we dip into the internet..!! It resonates. I actually use my laptop far, far more than I ever do my phone in this time with little kids, and even though it's planted in one spot most the day it can become just as much a portal to the internet and take away time from that monastic formation that we have available as mothers. Thanks for sharing these thoughts!
