"Sacred Lingering"

My friend Dana turned a walk in closet into an art studio....and she's thinks about it as her special space for sacred lingering. I love that concept.

I have a few other fun projects in the works...and dozens in my head. But mostly I've been doing a lot of sacred lingering with my Words of Encouragement project/fundraiser. In case you're new to this space.....I describe the project in detail in this post.

It's been an overwhelmingly powerful and joyful experience for me during this very dark and difficult period in our country. And it's been a labor of love.

The second shipment of underwear arrived today....106 pairs of men's and women's this time.

With this shipment I got to the 256 pair I reported a few days ago. I currently have enough money to possibly purchase another 75 or so and I still hope to reach my goal of 500 pairs. We'll see.

If anyone has any interest in tags or kits, please reach out. I will send a few tags at no cost, and for a small donation I will send a kit and few extra tags. And to clarify...the kits are not to make tags, but to promote creating community by paying the tags forward. See the link above for more information about the contents.

Comment Update:

Connecting with others brings me tremendous joy. I love hearing your stories, seeing your projects, and learning about the joy that lands in your day. I just learned today that Ellen buys and donates socks to her local agency that helps those in need....and her last donation was 104 pairs! Way to go Ellen!
