Watch Out World!

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

Something profound happened to me in April when I participated in The Landmark Forum. The Advanced Course, earlier this month, deepened that; it is clear each moment we have the opportunity to express ourselves and provide leadership. More than ever, I see that my life has been lived way too small for many years. I am reminded of the following quote by Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It … Continue reading →

Amazing Job Helping Me Create My New Website

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

I took several 1/2 day WordPress retreats with Joyce Kaye and would highly recommend working with her! She did an amazing job helping me create my new website, Climate Health and Wellness! I loved the collaboration that took place between us because we each got creative ideas working together to really make my website exactly what I had envisioned. And, she doesn’t deal with just the technical stuff of building a site! Joyce coached me through such considerations as: who was my audience, what was the purpose of the site, how did it relate to my other work, etc. We … Continue reading →

Good Medicine

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. was one of the first to recognize and document the psychological and spiritual impact of cancer on people and their families. Through her television appearances and lectures, she has reminded many thousands of people of their power to grow beyond their current challenges and heal themselves. I was first introduced to her when she gave a speech at “The Art of Death and Dying” conference I attended in NYC in the early ’90s. I love her introspective, compassionate, spiritual way of being, especially poignant for me since I have often found those qualities lacking in medical … Continue reading →

Invite the Divine In

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

As you probably know, my mantra personally and professionally is “You are not alone” (we teach what we need to learn 🙂 ). So when I recently joined the Waking Up with Ryan email list, I was thrilled when one morning Ryan wrote about this topic. Here’s an excerpt from 03.20.15… You can go it alone – but why? You’re surrounded by support. Not just from the people around you, but from the Divine itself… IF and only IF you invite the Divine in. The way the Universe works – without your permission, the Universe cannot work Its miracles through … Continue reading →

Email as a Business Practice

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

In their “Top 50 Email Marketing Solutions,” Website Magazine named Constant Contact the #1 Email Marketing solution. Read what they have to say about email as a business practice and how results compare with social media, etc. [Emphasis below is mine.] Email, as a business practice, has matured. No longer do marketers “batch and blast;” they understand the value the medium has in relationship building and generating conversions – increasingly leveraging technologies, tactics and techniques to make it work. Social, SEO and digital advertising still manage to capture the majority of ‘Net professionals’ attention, but the evidence is clear – … Continue reading →

The Strong Ones

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

A brother asked Abba Matoes: What shall I do? My tongue causes me trouble and whenever I am among people, I cannot control it and I condemn them in all their good deeds and contradict them. What, therefore, shall I do? The old man answered him: If you cannot control yourself, go away from people and live alone. For this is a weakness – Those who live together with others ought not to be square, but round, in order to turn toward all. Further, the old man said: I live alone not because of my virtue, but rather because of … Continue reading →

“I recently attended a hands-on workshop on the topic of Creating Your Constant Contact Newsletter. The 2 1/2 hr. workshop flew by. The class was small which gave the participants the opportunity to ask lots of questions and receive personal attention. The workshop was very practical and the content was immediately useful. I attended the workshop with specific goals in mind and most of them were realized. Joyce Kaye is a good teacher who is patient when it comes to helping participants over the bumps in the road. She has a great sense of humor and the work was fun. … Continue reading →

How do you get the contacts in your email program or database into Constant Contact? Depending on where your contacts are, you can use a contact import tool, an API to sync your contacts with Constant Contact, or create a file to export them.
