Happy Summer Digital Sisters and Brothers!

I hope your summer is treating you well. Mine is going great. I recently enjoyed a week-long staycation in DC. During my staycation, I practiced yoga outside in Malcolm X Park, attended daily meditation classes at Studio DC, had lunch and dinner with friends, slept in and took a lot of naps, watched a lot of Netflix movies, visited an amazing exhibit at the Mexican Cultural Institute, read all of my magazines and wrote in my journal at Starbucks, took some long walks in my neighborhood, attended a meditation talk on building community, enjoyed a great Father’s Day dinner with family, went shopping at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond for household items, and organized some parts of my home (still gotta finish this project). I also spent time on my Digital Sisterhood book project. The end result is a refreshed and rested Ananda!

Are you planning a staycation or vacation this summer? Drop me a line and let me know what you are doing!

Hi All,

Today I am sharing a video that I recorded yesterday about my Digital Sisterhood Part 2 Kickstarter Fundraiser.  My goal is to raise $500 by June 28. Click on the link to make a donation of $1, $5, $10, $20, $30, $40, $50 or more:  http://kck.st/i15fwC.  Each person who donates will receive a gift. Check out what you will receive with your donations: http://kck.st/i15fwC.

The Story Behind My Current Fundraiser:

In September 2010, I  launched my first Kickstarter campaign to raise money for my book, Digital Sisterhood, a memoir that discusses her Internet adventures, digital sisterhood experiences, and reflections about women and the Internet during the period of 1986 to 2011.  My short-term goal was to raise $500 by December 23, 2010. My long-term goal was to raise $1,600. Guess what happened? With the support of 39 backers, I successfully raised $1,159 online and an additional $70 offline. The grand total was $1,229.

To date, I have $371 to raise in order to meet my long-term goal of $1,600. That’s why I have come back to Kickstarter with Digital Sisterhood – Part 2.  My Digital Sisterhood Part 2 book fundraising goal is $500 by June 28. This amount will cover the balance of my self-publishing expenses and help offset the cost of mailing and photography expenses.

Thank you for your support! Many blessings!
