Organizing Yahoo Emails
I use Yahoo email. Yahoo is not structured for subfolders. I could not justify adding 30 to 35 email folders, one for each woman that I interviewed on the Camino. I, therefore, had all my emails with these women, sent and received, in one folder entitled Camino Interviews. Since I have had at least three…
Using copyrighted or creative commons music
I have a video for Women of the Way that I want to put to music. The song “I’m Alive” by Celine Dion is perfect, but it is copyrighted and would require licensing. I have been looking for the perfect female vocalist creative commons to use as background music. It needs to be peppy, with…

In addition to writing the book, I am pioneering into social media and the nether-lands of the web. I have stumbled and restarted several times.
