Why Use Constant Contact?
Effective March 24, 2012, The Computer Spirit’s new phone number is 928.301.7292.
This ‘officially’ reflects my saying good-bye to Gilbert in the East Valley of Phoenix, and laying down roots in the Verde Valley area of Northern Arizona, specifically the Red Rock Country of Sedona.
It’s been more than two years since my husband Rog and I moved to this beautiful place of natural physical beauty and loving spirits. I’d hesitated to change my phone number simply because in this day and age of the Internet, the phone number is plastered everywhere in cyberspace. Still, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So I’ve taken the plunge, started notifying folks directly (a great use of Constant Contact email marketing), and trust that, in time – hopefully not too much – the search engines will follow suit!
The Computer Spirit is thrilled to be named a Constant Contact® All Star once again for 2011!
The All Star Awards are how Constant Contact recognizes customers who stand out from the more than 500,000 organizations who use their services. This status is an annual designation that only 10% of their customers achieve, which makes our accomplishment as a Solution Provider even more noteworthy.
Note that any Constant Contact customer can be chosen as an All Star. Criteria include:
Well, Happy 2012, the year that humanity has been looking forward to for quite some time it seems.
With this new year, we are proud to announce the publication of The Computer Spirit’s monthly e-newsletter, hot off the press last night! Read the issue now. It’s been a long time coming.

The Computer Spirit has long awaited this day, like a genie finally let out of her bottle!
For much of my life I have been trying to uncover my passion, believing that it was to be found lying somewhere underneath my life experiences in serving and in creating. For many years I felt trapped in the corporate world where my administrative capabilities often led me to be tethered to a computer. When I escaped my cubicle and set out to obtain a masters degree in social work, I believed I was headed for a life working as a spiritual counselor. But the computer kept dragging me back.
Only recently have I discovered that my joy is to be found in the confluence of art projects I do mostly on the computer and personal transformation I facilitate mostly in helping people with their computer projects. This website represents what I feel is my calling – to help people reach out, connect with, and serve one another through functional art projects called websites and e-newsletters.
As I created this website with my husband and life partner, Roger Wyer, I felt a new kind of freedom coming alive in this form of self-expression. And, using the WordPress blog website platform contributed to this. I’m grateful to be in joyful alignment by “practicing what I preach!”
I’m excited to work with you on your communications projects as we collaborate in service! So, once again, welcome to our new website!
