letters-1659715_640Dear Subscriber,

I love knowing that you’re one of my readers! Thanks for subscribing.

Posts go up on Wednesdays – when the technology’s working. However, due to a recent work stoppage by the munchkins in cyberspace who stamp, sort and send out my posts, these emails weren’t delivered for the past two weeks. 

Thanks to  my Webmistress, we’ve given the munchkins a reboot, and I’m sending this email to test its effectiveness. It would help me no end to know that you received this email. A simple email saying, “Got it!” would let me know that the munchkins have sobered up and are back on the job.

Once I have confidence that the system is again operational, I’ll send out the next Lesson From the Long Trail. Meanwhile, here are links to the ones you might have missed:

Overcoming Resistance with Persistence      Monday marked my third week back in ordinary life, and a tsunami of resistance scattered my well-laid plans, smashing my productivity to sentence fragments. [Read more.]

Learning Routines on the Trail – and at Home    By our second day on the trail, Jan and I recognized the importance of developing routines; by the end of our hike, we were discussing ways to implement similar routines at home. [Read more.]

And here’s one that appeared on Live to Write – Write to Live: How to Meet a Big Goal           Following a “footpath in the wilderness” from Massachusetts to Canada has helped me learn how to meet a Big Goal. [Read more.]

Thanks again for subscribing; I’m honored you’re on this journey with me.

On the US-Canadian border at the end of the Long Trail on 9/8/16.

      Nope, this was a global problem – and a big mess that my wonderful Webmistress cleaned up. Ugh!

    Hello Deb,

    Got it

    Into the Wilderness appeared on my Kindle suggested reading list. Loved it, and then subscribed to your weekly articles.

      Wow! I had no idea Kindle could do that, let alone about my book! Thanks for letting me know – and for subscribing! All best, Deborah.
