Go to the Archives Index if you wish to check for an older article from 2020. Otherwise, watch for announcements of new e-books that I expect to produce that will share the best of the older issues. At the moment there are 905 issues of the RoseBouquet that was published as blog posts, as an xml file (for Feed Readers), and as an ezine emailed to my subscribers.
Your best move, if you are afraid of forgetting to come back here every week, just subscribe to the RoseBouquet, and it will come to you by email. Sure. Why not? It's Free and painless!

Dear Friend:
I'm going to do something different this morning. Instead of a newsletter with three parts, I'm going to make this a personal letter to each one on my subscriber list.
I've experienced something that makes me wonder if my RoseBouquet - despite all the efforts to make it special - is not getting through to everyone on my subscriber list.
Last week one friend (subscriber) emailed me to ask if I was okay; he had not heard from me in quite some time. I've been puzzling over this, and wondering if any others are not getting to see my RoseBouquet ezines.
That particular friend has a gmail email, and I know from past experiences of my own that they tend to filter out anything that appears to be a publication. That may well explain why he has been missing out.
Then I looked over my list of subscribers and I see that there are six of you, that all have a gmail address. OH NO!
Then I realized that even those friends who do sometimes send me a reply email with some comment about what I had written - BUT....Whoa! That hasn't happened in quite a few weeks - even months now!
The scary thought that has plagued me the last few days is this: What if none of these friends are getting my weekly RoseBouquet on Tuesdays? Is this all for nothing?
So I'm sending this short email out to each one individually, and asking you to let me know when you last saw an issue of the RoseBouquet from me?
Some options;
1. If you have a gmail I believe there is a place where you
can enter my sending email and mark it as one YOU DO
want to hear from.
[I confess, I have 2 gmail addresses but don't get around to checking them in long spells.]
That leads me to make a NEW suggestion to you. I don't even recall now how many years ago I discovered that the best way to get to manage and control your email is to register a domain name - (like ruth@myname.com, or whatever else you dream up.... a recent one I bought to advertize a certain product is decide4superpatches.com) I haven't got to building a website there yet, but it will likely only be one main sales page and maybe another page or two to introduce the product I hope to sell.
I have an affiliate membership in Resellerclub.com I can sell domain names for fairly low prices. Of course you have to think up a domain name that no one else has registered. The cost varies from the ones with the most in demand endings, like .com .net, etc. If you find one that is fairly new and not very popular yet, you may be able to register it for under $5, or under $10/year.
The big win is that once you have a domain name and put up, even one page there, you can login to the cPanel where you can created as many emails you want! YOU get to chose what name or characters you want before the @ symbol. The rest of your email is your domain name, Hey, you can created as many emails addresses as YOU want once you have a domain name!
(Confidentially, I have 6 active sites - plus this new one which I haven't set up yet - and I have 2 to 3 or even 6 emails at those domains. When I check my emails every day I'm checking 21 email addresses all together!)
So... paying $5-10/year for each domain seems like a bargain for the uses I get from the domain.
Now hiring a webdesigner to make a site for you can cost more, but it is possible to learn to do just one simple landing page in a few minutes.
But if you just need an email or two, simply login to your cPanel of the domain and create your emails in a matter of minutes.
I'm up to my "little beak" in work (as my Dad would say), but if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask
I'll decide what to do about my RoseBouquet once I get some feedback
