Steve was SUCH a good, caring man. I shall miss him terribly.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<br \/>\nRosalind<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I went through the emotional gamut this weekend. From grief over the loss of my friend and business associate to feeling confused about what I needed to do and almost everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly didn't know whether I could or would get my sites back online, or if so, how long it would take to get them back. My mind tumbled with thoughts about how I would handle the former situation &#8211; how the heck to start over completely? <\/p>\n<p>Egads. <\/p>\n<p>Talk about being a bit <strong>brain-fried<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Not that I was worried, per se. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I ALWAYS tell folks that worry is a completely wasted emotion. You're much better off to spend time preparing the Plans A, B and C's, rather than sit and worry. I definitely like to practice that one, 'cause worrying creates stress without benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the sites <em>are<\/em> coming back slowly but surely with the help of Coast Inc., the folks who managed Steve's servers.<\/p>\n<h3>But I also have to Thank YOU&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>I have no doubt that the condolences, kind consideration and good wishes that you all sent via my Facebook profile and page beefed up my karma. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Comments like the following from Jacqueline Hutchins' made me teary and happy at the same time.. <\/p>\n<p><em>I'm sorry to hear you lost a good friend. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>I hope also that you are able to get your websites up as soon as possible. Don't worry too much Ros, you have devoted followers\/readers like this one. Even if people don't know why they can't reac&#8230;h the sites, they will return.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, thank you SO much!<\/p>\n<p>And trust me, I'll be blogging about this situation more in the coming days with the I lessons learned that desperately need to be passed on before you find yourself in the same situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I sent out the following message to most of my readers via my Aweber account (because NONE of my sites was online): I got some VERY sad news this morning.
