Oh, this makes me very happy. I did hear the news from a little bird, but your celebration of it here, and knowing the pain, vulnerability, and beauty you've committed to expressing in it, I couldn't be more excited for you. And of course, for all of us. Kudos and congrats, my friend! Can't wait to read.

All the good stuff indeed. So glad this is going to be shared with the world.

And here for the resurrection fern---not sure if I shared this song already, but maybe it needs to go on the book playlist ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TX5ofXR2T8

Jackie! Maybe I knew this song once, but had forgotten. THANK YOU for waking me up to it!

We have that Iron & Wine album framed in our entry way!

Also, I'm assuming you've found Jan Richardson's Circle of Grace book, but if not, it follows the liturgical year in a beautiful way.

Takes courage to swap hats, I imagine, to become the author and not just editor. Looking forward to reading more of your writing.
