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:

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.

Thanks for letting me know. It’s been a snarky two weeks. Grrr.
I got it despite the cyber munchkins. 😉
No more Tuesday night poker for them!
Thanks for the update. I thought I’d subscribed and wondered why they weren’t coming to me!
Nope, this was a global problem – and a big mess that my wonderful Webmistress cleaned up. Ugh!
I got it also, thanks

Thanks for being a regular reader!
Really enjoy reading your pieces. Glad it’s back up and running. Congratulations on completing the hike – very cool.
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. The hike was transformative, which is very cool indeed.
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.
