Lesa,

I’m so glad it was a blessing to you. I feel the exact same way! Amazing!

You were so sweet to circle back and let me know. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I especially am grateful for the recommendation of the documentary of Casting Crowns. There is such a powerful message in this film. I have always enjoyed their music but am now more endeared to them for their heart for the Lord.
Please keep sharing!

I have ordered it expecting it to be a good reinforcement of the one I’m about to finish and HIGHLY recommend – “Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most,” (3rd edition) by authors Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton and Sheila Heen of the Harvard Negotiation Project. Our priest had our vestry (lay board) read it for our recent retreat; although I wish I’d had something like it 40 years ago, I’m extremely grateful to have it now. Its discussion of “identity” as it plays out in difficult conversations could be particularly helpful to those of us in the empty nest as we navigate the transition in our identities as parents – whether in talking with our now-adult children, or with our spouses. Cheers to you on this lovely fall day!
