So, remember those letter requests you sent in recently?  I'm picking them, one at a time, out of a bowl on my desk and sharing my responses here in a new Letters series.  So many of us share the same questions and concerns, and I'm right there with you in so many ways.  I'm not going to post the name of the commenter or the specific question or request I'm addressing, just the letters, from me to you.

And I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm feeling really vulnerable about them.  I don't know if it's the unedited nature of hand writing and scribbled mistakes, or if it's a result of trying to do justice to big questions and weighty concerns in just a couple pages, but I'm just going to trust myself and hope that it contributes something.

Letter #1

Today I'm also celebrating the launch of a new website by my friend, Kristin Noelle.  It's called Trust Tending: Reflections, Conversations and Art to Nourish Life Beyond Fear.  If you're looking for a rich, deep source of resources and inspiration about hopeful, mindful living, you will want to subscribe to her posts and sketches right away.  I'd love for you to join the celebration--so stop by and say hello.
