I know that an unaccustomed silence has fallen here. The last two months have brought difficult challenges for my family and me to face. With regret I had to put so much on hold, including this blog. Many of you have contacted me to ask if I’m okay, and I am deeply grateful to you for your concern.
Like many, I am glad to see a new year begin. May 2009 bring to all of you health, friendship, and hopes fulfilled.
I look forward to beginning our conversation anew.
