Dear Janice,

Thank your for venturing back out, or maybe simply trusting your words enough to share them. They are so encouraging and I love being challenged to leave a space at the table for another's pain, and to gently crack the door open so they know they are welcome.

Thank you, dear friend.

It is good to read your words again, Janice. Welcome back and thank for this message. I will be sharing Longfellow quote with someone close to me tomorrow as she observes what would have been the 14th birthday of her only daughter who died a few moments after birth. We just have to learn how to keep space for all that comes to others and ourselves.

Thank you Janice for your words. I always enjoy reading them. I lost my father unexpectedly in 2023 and so appreciate what you’ve written. All the very best for 2024.
