Testing, testing....
This analog lady is finding her digital footing
I started Ask Ascension Auntie last week after researching it and debating myself on how it would work, for a full year. I felt sickness creeping up on me as I laid the foundation and by Monday I was super sick, which stayed with me all week. I’m still not fully out of the woods.
I thought I was on the right track with my new page, however I discovered right away I could not post anything from my phone. I do not always have access to wifi, so I had to get better so I could step out to get wifi access to try and figure it out.
Yesterday my brain finally felt like it got back online so I was able to address the issues I am facing for the first time.
It is utterly fascinating and frustrating to discover I still cannot post to the Ask Ascension Auntie page from my laptop, despite all the tutorials I’ve watched that say it is possible.
I am in an interesting pickle, as I had my first yearly paid subscriber sign up before I had figured out the nuts and bolts of this new reality. I got paid before I got my first question, which is exciting, surprising and extremely motivating for me to get this service on track for real.
So, apologies for the delay. I had already been building content for a while, had established an Ascension Auntie Youtube channel last fall, and have all kinds of plans to share wisdom and help however I still have to figure out how to make it appear on the correct platform.
Sometimes I find that instructions I find online for tech and operating web stuff is not aligned with the reality at hand. Like literally the instructions for my specific phone, or perhaps a map for social media navigation provided when I Google a recipe of action that I need, that will lead me to a section in the settings that I cannot find in my device. This has happened too many times to count in my life. This same phenomenon is at play now, as I am not having the experience I was led to believe I would have by following the instructions on how to create a pen name profile off of my original page. It’s not operating at all, if I cannot post anything.
It’s like I built a place at the end of a dead end instead of on the main drag as I had intended. On top of that, it appears I am stuck in the garage, no one is coming by and nothing is going out.
Well, I am laughing at the absurdity of it all. I know my purpose is to help others by using my authentic voice, so this will get worked out as it must.
Just a heads up, Ask Ascension Auntie is still under construction but I will figure this out!
