Remember when Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz learned she’d had the power all along to return to Kansas? All she had to do was click her heels together and say, “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”
So, I’ve been fortunate enough to have a mentor who’s been helping me create an author website. We’ve had numerous zoom calls in which he’s guided me, with patience and humor, through all the pieces and parts and today I said, “Okay, I think I’m ready to take the wheel.”
“Okay…”
“So right now, I can view the website, I just don’t know to get in and make changes.”
“Um, sign into Squarespace and…”
And just like Dorothy, I realized I’d had the power all along. I am such an idiot. Someone should drop a house on me and be done with it.
Peace, people.
ha! Honesty is your funniest and finest trait. Keep clicking those heels! 👠

Leslie, you aren’t alone. I have those “I’ll just crawl under a rock and hide while everyone laughs at me” moments quite often.

I’ve taken html, javascript, and web design classes and it still took me waaay to long to edit a friend’s Squarespace (I hadn’t used it before). But at least I did it!

I say “software is all the same. It’s just a matter of undetstanding the layout.”

This one is interesting, and right now I’m pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to do just one task. Lucky for me, my computer-savvy brother is in town today and I’m going to press him into service.
