Dear Friends,
It has been an unusual week. From a trip to the ER with my husband who injured his back to visiting a friend with cancer and sitting with her in the raw ache of it all, I am reminded of the fragility of life. And when life doesn’t work out the way we had hoped, now what? Having a front-row seat, I listened to the questions they were asking – what do I need to learn from this?

Cheering you on!
