    About this ebook

    Conversations with God during a 30 Day Social Media Detox is a personal journey of frustration, defeat, humility, excitement, and transformation. Starting a web based business normally isn't the best time to withdraw completely from all social media sites including Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Twitter which is exactly what author Rachael J Avery did.

    Easter morning 2013 Rachael had a spiritual awakening, almost missing one of the most important events in a woman's life because she was on social media. Her life would be changed forever when she decided to cleanse her mind, body, & spirit with a social media detox.

    These intimate conversations with God are Rachael's deepest darkest confessions over a 30 day period that will shock you, perhaps have you ponder about your own relationship with social media, and make you laugh more than a tweet. Included are Top 10 Signs You May Be Addicted To Facebook and a guide for women to eat in a restaurant without using social media sites or cell phones.

    Anyone who has every struggled with overwhelming pressure to use social media for their business, or hears family members say, "Put that down!" to them more than I love you should read this quirky, insightful, life changing story of how one woman found more pieces of herself than when she started during a 30 day social media detox.

      Islands of Competence by Yumi Stynes

      I’m bang up for being a bad parent. And by ‘bad’, I guess I mean the kind of parent who puts her own needs first once in a while. Like, “Nah, mate, I won’t do a jigsaw with you.” Or, “I need a nap more than you need me to sit with you to watch TV.”

      Conversations With God During a 30 Day Social Media Detox and How It Changed My Life - Unedited, Unabridged, & Unfiltered - Rachael J Avery

      review.

      1.     Ground 0. A Facebook Intervention.

      Easter Morning Emotion Scramble.

      Dear God, I'm not sure why you created such a monster, such a beast, such a time sucking, blood sucking, portable essence extractor but this morning I was at its grip and its little cousins too.   Why would you create this thing they call Facebook? Why would you have us humans whom you know to be challenged everyday with finding one moment to be with ourselves, unknowingly dying inside to observe one little tiny thought of self-reflection enter the realm of Facebook?   Now a death grip on our smarter than us phones to look to during every elevator wait, red stop light, and DMV line.   Ok. I hate to admit it God but having it at the DMV and the doctor’s office kind of rocks.   But really God?   Even after the global devastation of the television, why would you invent a cute little billion dollar invention that demands the opposite of its name, giving even less face time in interacting with other people?

      I appreciate the disappearance of MySpace which meant I no longer had to also worry about song selection for my profile that day but to be honest God that part I actually sort of liked.   Would you consider putting   the option for song selection in Facebook?   Just sayin.   Geeeeze.   But with Face book we can't get enough of it.   Even grandma is posting her irregularity problems on my feed page.   Pictures, posts, videos by the millasecond! Now I have this business that you encouraged me to open, The Grateful Pantry, and the Face book pressure is even worse than Justin Beiber's facebook manager.   I've got to be posting pictures, videos, advice, fun, what I'm eating, what I'm not eating, how I want to purchase this plug into my iPhone that makes it look like a phone from the the 90’s, but then I don’t even have an iPhone.   All I have is this robot called Android.   WTH God? Why would you give us tools to make us robots?

      And don't even get me started on Facebooks’ out of town evil cousins.   The modern day wicked witch I'm sure had something to do with inventing Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pintrist!   So when loved ones complain that we're on our phones too long at the dinner table and encourage us to get off Facebook we have no problem stating, I'm not.   I'm tweeting!.   We've got to send 65 tweets, posts, pictures, and videos a minute to stay connecting with other humans connected with an I V drip.   You didn't tell us that did you God that when we downloaded the app it meant a metaphorical I V comes out of the adapter and injects itself through our vein in our wrist left to run our lives and determine when we eat, who we connect or won't be connecting with (usually our family members), and who we love who we hate all based off status comments.   Our arguments and family fights aren't even left pure.   We get to virtually walk into the hallways of our high school just after the bell and state our status as, Some people just don't know how to treat another person right and leave it blasted for all to see on their feed.

      Then there's me God.   A writer.   Which is why I'm really writing you day right.   I woke up Easter morning which was supposed to be the easter egg hunt of gratitude which I thought would be a great blog post yesterday, to share a family fun exercise of gratitude with the world.   I didn't know at the time but my partner hid an engagement ring in the last of what was supposed to be 12 eggs I was supposed to be busy searching for rather than being on-line with social media trying to post the blog of how important it is to spend quality time with loved ones.   I know God. Don't even go there.   I get it.   

      But I was trying to share this really really great message to millions, ok well 120-121 loyal-ish fans on the Grateful Pantry Facebook page whom half will skim it, 6 will click and change their mind that they don't want to read on easter after all, leaving only my mother and 1.2 loyal fans to read this really really important message.   Instead because A) I had to format with Wordpress on 3 different devices and thought I sent it out from my cell phone last night I instead woke up to a disappointing WRONG AGAIN blank blog post.   So I had to go up to the laptop after working on my iPAD and cell phone to format it to be somewhat readable then once it successfully posted because I have apps on my cell phone and iPAD its normally easier to send it out from HootSuite (an app that send out to FB, TW, LI) but because there is a password issue for twitter and when I cut and copied my hyper link it didn't transfer with a thumbnail so no one would
