For a few weeks an awareness was building. Facebook was sucking the energy from my life and pouring it into cyberspace at an unsustainable rate. The lust to read and write positive posts, pass uplifting notes, and "like" everything that resonated with me as beautiful and true was overwhelming my lust for life in the here and now. I felt worse and worse after visiting Facebook, not better. The awareness became so obvious that I had to surrender. I had to give up my addiction to Facebook. (I'm still struggling, but have been generally successful.)
My last post for January 2015 said:
My Facebook activity is going into a hiatus period. (It's okay, I'll be back later this year.) Frankly, I'm addicted to all of you. I am addicted to helping, advising, offering positive out-pourings of loving support, and passing along wellness educational tips. I'm also addicted to virtually connecting with the places and people I wish I could be around all of the time and the multinational events I am missing and all of that...
This addiction is pulling me out of the here and now, so I have to step back and focus all that energy on the present moment and deeply healing inward. I still love you and want to hear from you and share myself with you.

I realize I have neglected posting blog entries here. There was not a single post in 2014!
I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself, so perhaps I was once again staring at some unreasonable expectation to only post profound epiphanies or submit articles I've authored that have been published in print or online. Silly Seleka's Perfectionism rears its familiar face.
I am not sure what to write about in this blog. For the first week of 2015, I posted daily entries to Facebook. They were simple logs of what inspired me to stay motivated. I celebrated the small successes. I relayed the day's pondering. I don't know if anyone would be interested in reading such things, but those posting did help me stay focused in the here and now with a positive mindset and relaxed wavelength.
The beautiful sunset photo shown above was taken on January 19th, the evening before my sweetheart's birthday. We went to a local park and stayed until the ranger asked us to leave so he could lock up. The last few precious moments of color-changing background were a blessing to share and capture on "film". It was the highlight of the day/week.
These precious moments don't happen online. They happen in real time in the sensory reality that begs our appreciation every day. I don't know when I will make an official "return to Facebook" posting. It may happen at the end of February. I'm just feeling it out and making progress. I know when I do return, my usage will be different. I will post more on the Behrs Necessities Wellness Studio page and less on my personal profile.
The blog postings here will serve more of what I used to post to Facebook. If someone wants to read about my personal recommendations and about what I do with my time, they can hop on over to the blog. Here I am in all my glory or gory. I will present to you my musings and art and thoughts and inspirations. I will offer a witness to who, what, and how I love as much and as often as possible. I will share how I overcome the suffering I feel in this human condition, in the hopes it will inspire you to remember how to help yourself overcome the suffering of your human condition. You'll get first access to videos I make and photos I take. There is always a new creative project to start (and maybe finish). I devote my online sharings to you, dear blog readers. I hope you like what you read, so if you do, please comment and share. If you don't go ahead and let me know that, too. These posts are for you as much as they are for me. We are in this together, my loves. As always...
With Love,
