For years we met via e-mail daily and discussed all manner of things and studied together, too. The group was so hugely successful that every so often I had to meet with a Security Officer of AOL to confirm that everyone was a friend of mine and not some commercial endeavor that should be carried elsewhere in their organization. We would reach 150 receiving daily e-mail and would have to start over and ask everyone to respond once again that they really wanted to receive my ‘stuff’. Cut back for a time, we would grow and have to do it all over again. Anyone remember those days?
We had a lot of fun, but it became a huge burden for ‘moi’ and Birgit suggested I convert everyone to using the new idea of a Blog as our primary means of teaching and reaching out. The Blog has never been embraced by my clients/friends as 'On The E with Ruth Lee'. So, what to do? We are now moving into Facebook and LinkedIn and so on, but The Blog is going to benefit from that because it now seems like a much smaller, safer world. That loss of intimacy and trust so many hated losing when we went to this means of communication now looks better. : )
To celebrate change and all our years of working together via the internet (since 1997) and sharing life, I want to institute one of the things we did a lot in the past. The study of comparative religions. It will be so much better now that we have access to videos and such! Instead of reading so much, you can listen or watch to get the picture. Hope you enjoy it. We’ll try it out for a month to see how it goes.
