stairwell accompaniment:The Be Good Tanyas

this week: my husband arrives home from Germany, my dad journeys home from China and my best friend finds home here with us from Africa.

tonight with girls:we ate dessert, laughed and celebrated community. asked hard questions, wanted better answers and opened the doors of our lives, peering out so that the others may be embraced in. i need more laughter in my life, just not my own.
