If I were going to send out a nzl...

I'd announce the next Resistance teleclass (and charge for it so kilimwomen could get more $ because I've cut back on that.)

I'd ask them to buy kilims from our fair trade blog, and then I'd take new photos of what I brought back because I can't find the ones Hatice took.

I'd announce the next Scanner Retreat in May. And the Write/Speak program that starts with a one-day workshop around the U.S., moves to a 3-day retreat and telephone classes, then, for the very serious, to a 7-day retreat (wish I could do it in Turkey at that gorgeous cave-room hotel in Ortahisar) and for the totally serious (who want to be speaking and have a hard copy of their own very good book) in one year, an ongoing personal coaching schedule.

I'd put up the next 5 reasons we resist doing what we want to follow that very popular issue.

And maybe a word to everyone in this Xmas season to not buy puppies at puppy stores (unless they happen to know a really good one, which we will immediately publicize), maybe even to picket them with photos of puppy mills and exposes of Hunte and the Amish and any local puppy mills.

That's what I'd do.

I wish I could get someone else to write this newsletter for me.

I wish I could manage to record some new audio tips.

Well, you never know. It could happen. I'll work on my resistance. Maybe in the resistance blog.

Breakthrough?

Just figured out a way to get interested in doing the newsletter again: Bring it into what I *am* interested in, Resistance!

I finally found the newsletter I sent out in the spring or summer with 5 points of why we resist. I rewrote them for the nzl and made them better and maybe will use them in new book or proposal.

I can do the next 5, cleaning them up so they're more useable for the book, even start that chapter (which I secretly call '91') and announce the upcoming, ongoing teleclasses and ask for more stories. For links to earlier teleclasses, charge a small fee, maybe $8 to cover Paypal's costs and still bring in a little money, donate fee to HOH.

Maybe even mention the kilim Xmas project in the nzl, 'ready to buy something unique, beautiful, Fair Trade and all around wonderful for someone you love?' and a link to kilimwomen diary (lower prices on small kilims on site) and also a link to my kilimwomentoo blog (which will also have a link to Hatice's blog). Maybe even, Watch this slideshow, click on something you like and email me to see if I still have it.'

Ah, I went too far. I'm feeling resistance to doing the nzl again. Shoot! Gotta learn something from that but I'm too annoyed with myself to cooperate with myself right now.

I WON'T WRITE IT ACTUALLY...

I'll just say what I *would* write if I *were* writing it, because this is a big resistance issue for some reason.

And I'm not even going to do that yet, just figure out how to add links here, so I can look at the Resistance blog.

(BUT I SHOULD LIST THE SCHEDULE OF TELECLASSES)

(AND SOME KIND OF LINK TO THE KILIMWOMENTOO BLOG)

(AND I COULD PULL OUT A LETTER I ANSWERED FROM ASK BARBARA)

(AND EVERYONE'S USED TO HEARING THE SAME AUDIO CLIPS OVER AND OVER)

But I won't really do it. Yet.
