I have been planning our family vacations since age 7 and helping friends and family travel for over 30 years and was a travel agent with World of Magic Travel from 2016-2021, so getting back in the industry has seemed natural.
This time around and Lord willing the last time, I am with an AMAZING agency called, Smart Moms Travel. I specialize in Disney, cruises and all-inclusive.
But that's not what this post is about.
This post is about a short disconnect I am going to have with social media.
I enjoy using social media to build and online business. I'm getting ready to launch my travel agency, Michelle Spanos Travel Agent, LLC, and will use IG and FB to do so, I really enjoy connecting with clients and starting conversations about travel on social media.
This month I have been doing a 30-day Bible Reading Challenge. Once this challenge is complete, I will be wrapping up my social media time for 2024.
I'll be logging off for social from Dec 1-31, 2024.
😁 Eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk!!!!!!
I am excited to take this break.
I'm curious do you take social media breaks?
If so, how long? How often? What motivates it?
I'd love to hear so please do tell in the comments.
The last major break I took was in 2015, I took the entire year off. Looking back, it's kind of sad and kind of pleasing. Sad that I can't see that year and pleasing because I know I was enjoying the present.

This social media break is different. The motivation behind it is fueled not by social media negatively affecting me but a prompting from The Lord.
I've been listening to a sermon on the parable of the women who lost the coin, she searched and search for it, sweeping the room to find what she had lost.
The speaker encouraged us to think of something we have lost and wish we could get back.
She had taken a poll and some of the answers were, innocence, virginity, joy....., whatever it is we have all lost something and sometimes just can't find it, but here's the deal- we can find it!
In Jesus we can find it, we may not be able to actually get them back but with Jesus we can have purity, we can have joy, we ca be complete not lacking.
I want that.
The women swept the house; think about it, when looking for what was lost, you and me, we often need to do a clean sweep.
Talk about a clean sweep, I just got divorced after 27 years and 50 weeks.
For me, divorce was a clean sweep.
Everything in my life was swept away, my income/job, my husband, seeing my boys every day, getting to be home with my daughter, my ability to trust, my desire to see people, my self-esteem, my future dreams, so much was swept away, not one part of my life was left untouched.
With all that swept away, I can now have clarity, I can find what God's Word says and have what I've lost, my joy, my happiness, my positivity, peace, back.
So, I'm looking forward to this clean sweep of a future I have, and I want to clean out the noise as well.
We live in a loud world.
Lots of voices and experiences bombard us every day and is why taking a social media break is so important.
So, join me.
Take a month off and why not December, it's a busy month anyway, why waste time on social media.
I'll still be blogging weekly, and I will be praying for you. Praying that your heart with be steadfast after Christ.
xoxo
