Love to myself as I open to the pain as well as the beauty of being alive.” ~Chris Crass, Keep Watch with Me Lenten Reader

Wow… Nadia gave us a lot to think about during her talks at the LEAD event today. This is page 1… I took 4 pages of notes. Part of me wants to save the posting until I have them all done, but the other part of me is itching to share. Please realize there’s some of my own stuff in here, too… questions, things I pondered while processing the notes, prayers, etc.
