Hi! I am starting my Light Phone journey on Saturday. I am also a mom of two littles who feels my screen time has left me less patient, having less time for what is important to me and not loving this false sense of urgency I have to reply, order, research, etc. so quickly. I want to take back my time, discover new hobbies and fill my time with purpose. I want to look at the world and laugh with my children instead of taking pictures every two seconds when they do something adorable. I feel like the paparazzi sometimes!
Everything you have written about your journey has resonated with me. I moved across the country this past August and want to learn my way around my new city without the GPS and stop playing DJ in the car. Elmo and Frozen on repeat isn’t working for me anymore.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to starting my own journey and following along!
I have been seriously considering returning to a "dumb" phone for a couple years now. I for sure want to do it before my kids need phones, so I'm not a hypocrite when I hand them their flip phone. May I ask why you chose the light phone as opposed to a flip phone or other kind of minimalist phone? (I'm hoping it will help me choose/understand my options)

I was a Light Phone user for a year, and I liked many things about it. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
I just ordered Wintering by that same author and am very excited to read it. Now I'm thinking I need to read Enchantment, too!

Congrats!!!! I’m so excited for you.
I so get you, and admire your courage. May this choice bring you peace and enchantment.
