I hope you’re enjoying the fullness of summer – the fullness of light, warmth, flowers, sunsets over the water, and sweet watermelon in your belly.  A few years ago a friend turned me on to the Benedictine Nun and prolific writer Joan Chittister.

I’m putting my soul onto the page for the first time in almost two years. The much needed cocoon has been a sacred and nurturing space amidst the goings on of the world, both internally and externally. But now it’s time to come out, it’s time to be back in the world, with richer, more colorful
