I work at home

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

We can’t do everything, and we can’t be everything to everyone, can we? Everyone knows that.

I used to have quite a reclusive life. I mean when I lived at the house set back on an acre and filled with hundreds of trees, I was surrounded with peace, and pretty much I worked on Heavenletters™ in peace and quiet. I wasn’t pulled in lots of directions. Once in a while, a trip to Iowa City, and, of course, grocery-shopping. Unless I went out, pretty much I was in my isolated world. The world did not come in on me.  I had serenity. No one dropped in on me. It just didn’t happen. (more…)

Compulsive spam deleters anonymous

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

When it comes to deleting spam, I am perfect. Not one of those rascals gets away with anything anymore. I pounce on them. “Aha,I’ve got you!” I am a dedicated weeder of spam. I am an impeccable housekeeper of spam. I am like someone who dusts their house ten times a day. I am on a witch hunt for spam. (more…)

Zen revisited

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

“Joy is not in things but in us.”

On the morning of the day I write this blog entry, there was an inspection of every apartment in the complex where I now live.

When I first read the announcement, I had wondered: “What are they inspecting? That there are extra people living in someone’s apartment, or a secret pet, or what?” (more…)

From hoarding to zen

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

It’s true. I think I really was a hoarder. I didn’t see that I was. Someone or something had to point it out to me.

When I moved from West Broadway to East Burlington in Fairfield over fifteen years ago, I came to see that the big back porch (more…)

Overcoming email addiction

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Yesterday, Sunday, I did all the basic morning Heavenletter responsibilities — writing down the Heavenletter, proofing another one, entering quotes on Twitter. I didn’t take care of a few things I really should have and wanted to — writing to two dear people who offered to help Heaven Admin with HTML, getting long-overdue Heaven News ready, and a few other major things like that.

I had made up my mind that I would take a day off from the computer and straighten out my room etc. and some other things that I have been neglecting in favor of emails. (more…)

Ginger, Super Angel

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I swear, Ginger Nelson must have wings! Later you will see a photo of Ginger.

But first, Allison, a gift from Ginger. How would you feel if you were frantically in the middle of cleaning the house you are moving from, and someone comes to your door and says, “Ginger paid for two hours of my time to help you clean.”

Angels, angels, angels

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

There is no other explanation but that real-live human beings are angels. Certain occasions really bring out the angelness in people. Moving seems to be one of them.

Some of these angels you are already familiar with, and some are new.

Here’s a list:

Post, post, post

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Dear Friends,

During the move, angel after angel appeared. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

To give you a quick update now, I am living in new place. I have a room in a mansion on the first floor, and Heaven Admin has a room on the second floor, and I love it! Will do a blog with details and photos all about everything and everybody as soon as I can.

703 East Burlington is where Godwriting™ started and where my whole life took on a new hue. Now I am living on West Burlington. Both east and west are wonderful! (more…)
