I am sorry about the delay is posting to the blog. I have had computer troubles, and spent this entire frustrating week working with Dell to no avail. I will have to replace the computer, so until then, I may be sporadic in my posting.
This is to let you know that I have met with a few people here in town and now you can get SweetPersimmon.com products at:
Dai Ichi International Travel
925 NW Lovejoy St
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 228-1118
They have a little gift shop area and have let me put a few things there for sale. If you are in the Portland area, stop by and save on shipping charges for the Portable Meditation Seat, Insulated Tea Infuser Travel Mug, Premium Incense from Shoyeido, and photo cards taken from around Portland.
Being without a computer has made me aware how much I am dependent on technology. It has become an essential way for me to keep in touch with my friends, conduct business, and work out my family schedules. I have felt rather at a loss being unplugged for 6 days.
I have used the telephone more, scheduled more face to face meetings and generally been more available to my husband because I am not on the computer. I realize how much out of human touch I have been and it is a great lesson to me. Even though email and posting is a fast convenient way for me to communicate, it is also less personal. I also noticed how much more time I have to get things done. Being on the computer is a big time waster for me.
I am rather glad that I have had this time to be unplugged and more in touch with the people around me.

good to reconnect - but sweetp, we miss you!!!
ReplyDeleteit's strange how fast we come to rely on gadgetry, and how bereft we can feel when it fails.
Hey mad, thanks for stopping by. I do miss the computer, but you know, I have been having a lot of fun -- offline. More later, but I hope to be back up in a couple of weeks.
