I deleted Facebook from my iPhone. Now, I didn’t give up Facebook. I’ll just be engaging with it on a less frequent and more intentional basis – on my computer. When I had the idea to disconnect mobile, I was surprised when I started paying attention to my usage: Taking a peek before I got […]

How do you stop the merry-go-round of life and have intentional, meaningful interactions with people that can change the world?
