I’ve never done zoom. There’s no proper internet here on the farm … tried a satellite dish for a while but that service was even slower than patching through my phone, and nearly completed uploads kept getting lost when the connection passed from one satellite to the next. Or however that magic is supposed to work.
Anyway I use all of the above as my excuse not to offer zoom sessions, or to participate in them.
I feel I’m in the hot seat at this very moment in my life. As my friend Pete said to me, we weren’t given any how-to lessons on care-giving. There’s the person we love and the people around us with many strange and sometimes disturbing ways — family, doctors, kind friends, and vital strangers. The only way out is through love. When I get overwhelmed, I just go back to her, hold on to us, and try to let everything else fall away like the scenery in a cartoon.
Oh Jeni, I think of you in this role every day. It's so wonderful that you are there for your Maw Maw. And yes, the only way out is through love. Sending you a bit more to help out.
It involves a name change and drilling down to the true DNA of what I do here. Which has long been a bit of a mystery to me. That branding stuff, you know!

That works, for me.
I don't know, I think you're lucky in a way--the internet is such a distraction.
And I love what you do so there's no need to change.
Bravo, Charlotte! I would have been terrified in the same situation. Thanks for the reassurance. We will survive!
Oh Sandra, I'm glad it's not just me! And you and I have survived all this time--we will survive and thrive longer!
Loving your 2nd novel!
Thank you so much, Leisa!

Can’t wait to hear more about the hot seat feedback!
