OK...in response to @colleenyoung asking for "get to know" tidbits:

Fun fact is what I like to do for fun:
I'm a stained glass artist and even when I scrape up my fingers and bleed on my artwork, I love it.

Nuggets of wisdom:
There are only three prayers: Help! Thank You! and Wow! (Novelist Anne Lamott)
Believe me when I say that I have often needed to get my prayer up quickly and said one of those three w/o any elaboration.

I'm going to sneak in a 2nd from Rilke: Just keep going. No feeling is ever final.
Both of these nuggets have kept me going at various times in my life!
