Anyone there?

So, to simplify my life - to get the life I want, really - I'm always looking for ways to make complicated things simpler. I'm looking for ways to omit old activities that don't further my slow living, even if it means giving up something I thought would be helpful.

Isn't it funny how we add things in our lives that we think will help us, but instead only drag us down or force us to do "one more thing?"

One of those things that came to me was, Did I want to renew my domain name for this blog? In all honesty, I did. Who doesn't want a blog with their name in it? But I wasn't using it the way I thought I would... a personal dot com is helpful if I'm selling a lot of books! 

Alas, I'm not. I write a lot of articles, blog posts, and devotions. I'm always writing something (including books that may or may not see the light of day). So it isn't that I'm not published or that I don't feel successful in some small way. I do! But, this domain isn't necessary for where I'm at right now. So, I'm giving up my domain, which means I don't have to pay for it. It came up for renewal, and I declined.

Except that I forgot it affects my posts coming to your inbox.

So, this is a test post of sorts. Hopefully, it shows up in your inbox. Otherwise, I'll have to work on the technical side of this blog until I figure it out. Yikes.

Now, yesterday I posted about approaching 50. Here's the post, assuming you missed it.◄ 

Hopefully, all will be back to normal. Thanks for following along with me and my writing, reading, and slow living all these years. It hones my writing skills and, hopefully, helps you in some small way.
