Why this Might be Nearly the Last Issue of Comfort Zone

November 15, 2013 By Elaine Leave a Comment

Originally published in Comfort Zone Newsletter: November 2013

The plan is to modernize into a blog format, so that you can write comments to each other stimulated by my posts, creating more of a sense of community on this website. I have vowed not to be lured into responding to contents, but I expect that I will read everything, and questions raised could be contents for my future posts.

Another goal for me is to feel free to write to you without a quarterly deadline. This will help me prepare The Highly Sensitive Parent and then try to withdraw a bit more into my inner life, a privilege befitting my years.

Comfort Zone has about 40,000 subscribers now, and I do not plan to abandon you all. But I’m sure, with the other stimulation in the world, not receiving this newsletter so often will be better for most of you, too. Meanwhile, if you find yourself curious about something, you can use the hsperson.com website “Google” and you will probably find I have written about it among the 300 or so Comfort Zone articles archived or in print since 1997.

About this Blog

The quarterly Comfort Zone ended in 2014, partly to give Elaine more time to write, but also because a blog seemed more up-to-date and flexible, allowing her to write new posts based on the interests of readers. If you've signed up for her list, you will be notified when she has posted anything new. Comments: While she will not answer every comment, she will read them all and, again, may be inspired by some comments to write another blog post. You will also receive emails of any important announcement rather than these showing up only in the quarterly issue. Old Comfort Zones: The many emailed Comfort Zones are still very timely. To make full use of the extensive Comfort Zone archives, the Comfort Zone section has a Google search that will find old Comfort Zone issues as well as topics in the blog posts.

The Original Book

The Highly Sensitive Person book cover

A general introduction and covers every aspect of an HSP's life. Worldwide bestseller. Translated into 32 languages. With an Author's Note summarizing the latest research.
