I’m happy to report that the February newsletter, Unpacking Your Stories, finally went out this week –  while it was still February!  The newsletter folks, MailerLite, announced that the domain name had to be “authenticated” before anything could set sail.  It sounded simple enough, but anything involving coding is complicated for me.  Miraculously, I was able singlehandedly to get some code from MailerLite, but figuring out where and how to insert it – at GoDaddy or Hostgator – was beyond me.

I wisely turned the task over to my web person, Ellie Nowels of Centipede Graphics, who began a weeks-long email exchange with MailerLite, involving screenshots of code that weren’t being accepted.  Finally – ta-dah! – the code went in and MailerLite declared me “authenticated.”  Then, just before I hit “send,” I remembered that I was supposed to have added an additional “quick link” to my new book.

I couldn’t figure out how.  But thanks to a Fiverr contractor named Kisilda in Albania, the new link made it into the newsletter, and it finally sailed out to subscribers.  If you’re not one and would like to take a look, here ‘tis.   Whew!!!  It’s a very special issue since it contains the first story written by one of my Unpacking Your Life workshop participants, Cindy May. Just hit subscribe on this web page, and future issues of my now-authenticated newsletter will appear in your inbox each month. Whew!!

Technology requires A LOT of assistance.  But now on to the part I like best:  not technology but stories!!
