A NICE EMAIL WHILE WAITING FOR WEB SITE UPDATE   Leave a comment

My recent book has been on the market since August 11, 2026, and I’ve done a couple of FUN presentations about it locally, but I’m still hoping for reviews. Unfortunately, at the time I readied How Could These Lovely People Let It Happen? A Psychologist’s Intimate Journal for publication my back collapsed into pain and the loss of two more inches of height, my heart needed a new aortic valve, and worst of all, my web master retired and moved me on to a new provider.

I like what’s happening on that front, and it should soon be up and running with an option to leave a review there. It will even include a photo taken within the past week, so it’s what I really look like now. And I’m making great progress energy-and comfort-wise. But in the meantime I got permission to post this email I received from a Connecticut connection.

Hi Mona. I hope this note finds you doing great. I don’t know if you have read/seen my comment about your book, but if you have I hope you liked it. Only in retrospect did I realize that I was a bit off when I said that my favorite part was about Jung, which I responded to as I did because (even though psych was my minor in college) I wasn’t familiar with or didn’t recall in any detail. And I really loved the premise of our energy being reabsorbed in the collective upon our deaths, which is what I meant by “I hope she gets her wish.” I was absolutely fascinated by that. But my actual favorite part was reading about your cutting edge work with the psychology of women studies (and I still have my bumper sticker, “A Healthy Woman is a Crazy Person.” Anyway, I really enjoyed the book and reading about your journey. Do let me know how you are doing when you have a moment. Pam

I thank Pam for the kind note and the permission to share it, and I look forward to being able to send you all soon to my upgraded web site
