A few months ago, I received an inspirational message about renouncement.

“Renouncement?” I thought.

“Renounce what?” I asked myself.

As I read through the message, I realized it was a message challenging me to give up, let go, and release things which are holding me back and no longer serving me.

It got me to thinking, “What can I renounce today?”

The answer came quickly, and I chuckled because it was, “Your hesitation with using social media!”

My lack of social media involvement has been the running joke of my family and friends for years.

My niece once said, “Oh, she won’t ever see that because she’s not on social media. If you want her to know about it, you’d better text her.”

She was telling the truth!

I have s-l-o-w-l-y been working my way back to social media since “Girls Trip 2022” in Topsail, NC.

Many of my followers were SHOCKED to see that I had posted pictures, added videos, made comments, and used reaction icons to engage in a place that I’ve been nonexistent in for years.

While on that trip, I challenged myself, in all honesty, I promised myself that I would become more active on social media – in a way that was comfortable for me.

I found that I could “like” very easily.

I would also give the occasional “laugh,” “heart,” or “hug.”

I thank Zoom for teaching me how to effortlessly use these icons.

Every so often I would make a comment here or there, but I mostly “liked” my way into social media involvement.

Today I think back on that inspirational message and how it has challenged me to renounce my social media hesitancy and inactivity.

I’m stepping up my involvement so I can level up my understanding of this experience.

I recognize there is so much which has changed since I first got my social media accounts.

There are also so many nuances of social media that I don’t know or understand.

Yet, today, I embrace the challenge of that inspirational message to renounce my hesitation on using social media.

I will figure it out so I can find a comfortable place in which to connect and reconnect again.

Hence my sharing this post with you today.

How about you?

Is there something this message has inspired or challenged you to renounce?
