Everything we do is, at the very least, a chance to affirm the preciousness of our lives. I love how you so richly and meaningfully flow into your world and into ours. Hugs to you...

"Say you're renovating your old log cabin..." You're completely accurate that a person like me doesn't need to know about repairing a log cabin, or packing out in the mountains, etc... but I WANT to know! Honestly, I doubt I will ever find myself trapped in a snowbank, but I have a decent idea of how to dig a snow cave if I am. Kind of like I could teach someone what to do in a tornado, probably wouldn't be really beneficial to many folks in the mountains, but, hey, you never know. It's always fun to learn new things even if you might never actually use it. Seeing the resourcefulness, no matter the outcome, can teach us all a lesson, beautiful mountains or no. I think a lot of us "tune in" because we enjoy reading about your life and days, so please keep the instructions coming!

If I can do it, anyone can. It's rather fun, too. We can give you some pointers and when you're up here if you'd like. No doubt, starting is the hardest part...

Our cabin needs some work and the product we tried (or maybe it was us!) did not bring the results we had hoped. I love your phrase, "To remember to just start by starting". Great advice!
