I’m glad you are safe, Julie. That was such a harrowing experience! Thank you for the prompts and reminding us of the passage from Isaiah. Inspiring to also know there are good people around you willing to help out. Humanity at its best. Merry Christmas and I look forward to new posts in the coming year.

Julie, what a beautiful, powerful reminder of the message of hope in this world. I am grateful for your safety. Your thoughts inspire me to be aware in the moment to the miraculous, magical turn of events that occur with a few, simple deep breaths and focus on what matters. Looking forward to writing with you on the 30th.

Thank you, Julie, for the hope in the rainy day drama, in the present. I'm glad for your safety and your bringing these words to us. I love this: " The present is always bound up together with the past and the future. " Thank you for the hope. I'm glad you are safe. I'm glad for your voice. I'm glad for your heart.
