We all know what resistance, or attachment, feels like. I often use the image of Velcro when I think of my own attachments;the stronger the attachment, the heavier grade of Velcro.

My “baby” book is bringing numerous opportunities for me to notice how strongly velcroed I am—to whether people buy it or not, to whether it is helpful, to any ideas I may have about how easy or difficult it is for me to promote the book, and especially to ideas that arise about any kind of promotion of a so-called “spiritual” book at all!

A fresh perspective about this newsletter has evolved since the birth of the book. It’s time to say goodbye to it. Although I have deeply appreciated my connection with readers, a place to express my writing skills, and the fun I’ve had learning to work with the nuts and bolts of online publishing, it is time to move on to a wider audience,the world of blog!

Some of you may remember I tried blogging for a while. What you probably don’t know was that my blog site became part of an online illicit gambling group and when I found out, I crashed the site. Recently, a friend told me about a more protected kind of blogging and I will be subscribing to www.typepad.com in the New Year. I will be joining many authors who help promote their books in this way. There will be a link from my website, of course. Look for it in late January, early February.

I will be writing new stuff and replaying some old stuff for my new expanded audience. I’m also going to include direct links to websites I have found helpful, and to people I value in my life. I hope you will check it out and give me your support by telling others about it, and giving me feedback, as I explore this new terrain.

Thank you for being there, and reading my stuff. I hope my writing continues to be useful for you.
