Hey! Thank you for this. It's great to see you talk about technology distractions being normalised nowadays and how it's a sign of disrespect (just like being late). I am currently doing a 50 day no-buy and Instagram detox (slightly off topic...) but it ties into the themes of being present, grateful for what I have, and not being addicted to social media in actual social settings! Great read.
Thank you! Happy to hear it resonates. "Another person's attention" is something we often forget to put on our gratitude list... Good luck with your detox/"fast"!
Bravo. Old world manners gave us cues to manage front doors and telephones.
It’s good to remember we’re still new at all of this and still coming up with rules. I love how you boil it down to “be here now,” or tell me when a wall is up. 👏

Thanks, Barbara. It's that easy AND that hard :) I appreciate your thoughts!
Thank you, Robin! Appreciate that! I would be curious to hear if it sparks a conversation and changes any behavior after you share it :)
