 The Grace in Gathering
 I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us." -- Anne Lamott
It's springtime: A return to my rituals of gathering:
Gathering clothes I no longer love (or can wear) to take to the Goodwill. Gathering and tossing the growing junk in our basement and scattered debris in our yard (accelerated this year by intense rains and major flooding). Gathering to-do projects that, just maybe, I'll get to cross off my list once and for all.
Gathering - yet again - the parts of myself that have gone missing or astray... as in... Re-member-ing.
Despite the moaning and groaning resistance I have to winter's edgy cold I do appreciate the season's invitation to dial it down a notch. The time to gather in a different way: Gathering by our wood stove. Gathering inspiration for a blog post I'm writing. Gathering new program offerings and exciting workshop ideas...
Like new life stirring below ground...
Preparing for a glorious return to the light.
Happy spring, everyone!

Social Networking: How Much is Too Much?
I couldn't find a good YouTube laugh for this spring issue of my newsletter. So I went with a video message that packs a bit of a punch. While we're on the theme of gathering, what better topic than the gathering force of social networking: Is Facebook or Twitter adding more stress and noise to our lives? How much is too much? See it here.
