I am delighted to be over that The Kitchen Table today, writing about talking to my kids about God and understanding in a new way what holiness is.
Also, thanks to Corinne at Trains, Tutus and Teatime for showing me the way to this great, collaborative site.

At the kitchen table
Snippets: collaborative art
I’m absolutely delighted to be participating in Snippets at Boy Crazy: finding clarity in the chaos today. Elizabeth’s brilliant idea about collaborative art makes the most of this disparate and wonderful web community. Together our voices and eyes can be more than any of us is individually. I love the concept she has pioneered and [...]
Life Lessons from Laundry
Karen Maezen Miller is one of my idols. No, really. She, even on the screen, radiates peace, calm, and the hard-won wisdom of someone who has really put in her time to live in her life. I mention the hard-won part because my sense is that for her this is a practice, [...]
The Chocolate Chip Waffle
Have you ever come home in a blog? So asks Terresa at the outset of her post today at her beautiful blog, The Chocolate Chip Waffle. And, yes, yes, yes! I have, Terresa, and your gorgeous blog is one of those places. Actually it is the home I dream of, because your writing is so [...]
Flickering Faith
It is my distinct privilege to be guest posting at Motherese today. I am so glad to have found Kristen and as I said when I featured her words here last Thursday, she writes beautifully about questions of identity, politics, parenting, and living in this world.

These are all by Catherine Newman, who is without a doubt one of my favorite writers – her book Waiting for Birdy is fantastic, and I miss the blog she used to write for babycenter. [...]
Losing my religion, finding my faith
It is my distinct honor to welcome Kristen from Motherese to this space today. Kristen’s blog is one of those I admire most, for her lucid and intelligent probing of questions so relevant to me I often feel she dug them out of my brain. Kristen is dear to me, too, for leaving me one [...]
Casseroles ARE grace
I am over at The Kitchen Witch today – TKW is one of my favorite bloggers and it’s a true honor to inhabit her space.
Please go read my post about my mother, abundance, and love – and check out TKW! You won’t be sorry.
The Help Haiti Blog Challenge
My dearly beloved Kelly Diels twittered me last night and asked me to participate in her Help Haiti Blog Challenge. She asks that we all think about how we can contribute, whether it is a service or a good or our time. And yes, yes, yes I say.
Last night Matt informed me that he had [...]
Best of 2009: Gwen Bell blog challenge
Yesterday: Challenge: Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?
I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days, marinading in the question and wondering how to express the challenges of this year. [...]
