So many details all in a rush. But we're taking it one piece at a time. We will be closer to some family and farther away from others. <br /><br />I hope and plan to continue blogging as time permits and as inspiration strikes. I may start a new one for my work related writing, or I may continue to post it all together. It's not like I'm going to become two different people, after all.Robin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10336915224193704866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-54208054691223592912011-04-10T16:51:18.969-04:002011-04-10T16:51:18.969-04:00Thank you for the scope, wisdom and courage of you...Thank you for the scope, wisdom and courage of your post. As one who lives in Florida, has children/step children in Georgia, California, Colorado, and Oregon, and a sister in England, I give thanks frequently for the modern miracles of Skype and so forth that connect us coast to coast and across oceans. I also know first hand that it is not the same as being down the road from your loved ones. As you are transplanted, may you and your family be well watered and kindly tended. You will bear much fruit!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825295394831791684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-34065355377548085112011-04-09T21:45:02.788-04:002011-04-09T21:45:02.788-04:00Congratulations, Robin.

I look forward to connecting with you further, and congratulations on <i>your</i> new ministry!<br /><br />Liz, that sounds lovely, but I don't know when it would be possible.

That's never been a real option for FWCC, which may be a reason why it has had the impact it has had. This is a key position within Friends, but one with very little control over the Society.<br /><br />Just keep leaning on those everlasting arms, and you'll be fine.Bill Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752443575410023776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-39964447532641021992011-03-23T01:44:45.991-04:002011-03-23T01:44:45.991-04:00bu-bu-bu-but, I just got here!?!?
