Shanna Small posed a good question in a recent status: Whats the difference between judgement and opinion? Ive gone back to that thread quite a few times to read the responses. I dont have an answer. But after spending time with my friend Setarra Deveaux, Ive come to realize that a lot of what Im reading on social media is making me feel bad. More specifically: a lot of what my FRIENDS are posting or liking is making me feel bad. Perhaps Im being judgmental. Perhaps Im being over-opinionated. I dont know. But I DO know it doesnt make me feel good. The irony here is that I just told Kelley Carboni-Woods yesterday that I have never understood why people make announcements like Time to clean up my friends list. Like...just shut up and do it. We dont need to know. But, thats exactly what Im doing except I have a reason. Just because you may be deleted from my social media accounts DOES NOT mean that you are deleted from my life if we already have a real-life connection. But last year I quietly deleted one of my best friends and she unabashedly deleted me from her LIFE in retaliation. So please understand that I have deleted family members who understand that I still love them...we just cant be connected on FB. Because for some odd reason, some of yall freely say things on Facebook that you would never say to me in person. Things that speak to your moral character...and even some of you expect us to work together outside of our friendship even though youre saying/liking things that go against the principles of our yogic teachings. You have my number. Call or text if you want to talk or if you ever need something. My real life friends know this if nothing else: Ill give you anything Ive got if it will help you.
