Opening the ebay store listed below is being considered at this time. We were shut down because of Democrat power structure and policy. Ebay is not responsive to appeals to specific 'shelter in place' logistics for the small operator. We can overcome that at some point. In the meantime, the need to shift to other sources of income has been a blessing. Here is one of my pdf e-books that is a compendium of the best of this blog and others.

AVALON STORE HISTORY
FAMILY BUSINESS : FROM BRICK AND MORTAR STORE TO E COMMERCE.
The first thing that occurs to me is that this is an opportunity to say more than was allowed on ebay. There are space limitations there, which is understandable. Limitations on characters means that I could not say what is important about the family business.
Our second hand, collectibles, and antique store was a landmark in downtown Missoula, Montana for 25 years. A two block radius of the old town was a shopping and social hub for those who wanted old quality tools, nostalgia, or homesteading supplies for life in our community. My parents were characters in the pageant of local color. Dad for his knowledge and kindness, and Mom for her directness and dry humor.
The area changed with the times and the character changed. Mom had a stroke and Dad passed away. After some hard work with physical therapy, Mom was able to leave nursing care and move back to her home. She needed 24/7 care and I moved in as a caregiver. We each have our purpose.
Selling on ebay from former store inventory kept Mom connected to the world. Messages and post cards from the world kept her connected. She could stay busy with her mind. But time took its toll and after ten years she required nursing home care. It was heart-breaking. She died and a family of new orphans bonded together. Life goes on.
I'm on my own now. I continue with the spirit of endeavor, ambition, and adventure through my business here. I'm presenting some of my writing in monograph form. I'll sell classic books, and experimental marketing in my areas of unique expertise. Thank you for reading some of our history.

LESSONS AND LEARNING IN MYSTIC CONTINUITY
Learning is encountered and enacted in many forms. There is direct perception from the basis of who you are. This arrives through intuition. Often, the written or recorded teachings that we resonate with comes directly because of our intuitive knowing. The principles might be further elucidated by another's knowledge or just the fact that somebody else made an effort to organize and teach. There are credentials that we recognize ourselves or that have been given by institutions. All well and good.
The above describes the Mystic Reading path to excellence. That has been my study and hobby. At the age of my mid-sixties it became evident that to continue I must become a professional in the field. See the "Paradox of Money and Meaning" section in the blog section.
In today's world there are technologies that enhance or limit the furtherance of becoming who we are. We must master technology but not let technoogy master us. The personal meeting of kindred spirits is still the most effective means of forming a connection. Yet there are barriers of location, logistics, and economics that can be overcome through the freedom to advance in cyberspace.
Sharing with like-minded people in the United States and Europe has been a real treasure in forming valuable associations.
