Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
Friendship
I’m watching my grandchildren making friends while walking through the minefield of Junior High School!

I don’t want to shatter their tender idealism about friendships, but instead I want to protect their precious ingots of innocence.
