I often find myself in a moment these days where I am suddenly overcome with the urge to share it. It might be a view, or a taste; the feeling or the thought that washes over me. And then, nothing. I pull out my phone and come up blank. I am so consumed by the experience of the moment that it feels like a dream. You know… the more you share, the more it disappears. And so I hold onto the moment. The moment is for me, or for my family, or a friend or colleague or even the stranger with whom I share it. The world will continue to spin without my input. This moment is where I belong.

So poignant. Thinking about this as I wrestle through my relationship with social media and my intuitive desire to share (especially regarding my daughters!) but my fiercer desire to linger in the moment.
Rach! I am on my own social media hiatus and a friend alerted me of your departure from IG. I am so glad to have found you here {and subscribed to get your updates!}. Your words have had a remarkable impact on my life over the last 8+ years. I am so excited to see what life holds for you in this next season. I’m cheering you on!
Wow- beautiful. Miss your words on Instagram, but I’m thankful you’re still sharing them here.
