Kirie, it’s so good to hear from you. The thing I miss most about not posting everyday is hearing from readers. I loved reading your first sentence, your first paragraph, your last big paragraph, especially the taking more time in your life for yourself and the Kirie’s Cottage part–actually your whole comment. Thanks so much for writing it up like a little story and sending it to me like a gift. xo

As I shared here from time to time, the idea of shifting to a new technology tool, from a desktop to a laptop, to what I considered the “cliche” of Apple (and how workers were treated in the factories), was huge. It took me several years to finally buy first a smart phone, then an I-Pad, and finally a laptop.

It was like shifting from my beloved Selectric II from college and grad school to my first computer, torture and suffering that then went on for years. This learning curve wasn’t as difficult, but it was still an act of courage.

Next, as I also shared here, was realizing I really could move to MY guest cottage, which I’d previously only used for daily meditation (and guests, of course) and be my own best guest. Gradually I moved my writing stuff into Eagle Cottage, as it’s called for the eagles that surround us, and gradually I started taking more time in my life for myself. (Now I give guests the master bedroom, and my husband and I sleep in a tent out under the stars listening to the sea. Eagle Cottage has become Kirie’s Cottage.)

That is all thanks to you! Keep writing! Keep sharing!
