A Gift and a Kindness: Strength after Life- Threatening Health Crisis


Following a series of life-threatening incidents, Marie is recovering strongly now. She has been encouraged by the kindnesses of friends and by practical gifts of organic food and supplies ... including a gift of organic, free-range eggs, which have been
strengthening to her.

Today, Monday, October 6, 2008, we will be posting a new Tentative Calendar of Events for October - November 2008.
