Thank you Karen Francis-McWhite for inviting me to be a Friday Friend, and share the story of four newbies–our fails, foibles, and one catastrophe–caught between “Never do anything for the first time,” (Grandpa’s quip) and Mary Oliver’s “When it’s over I want to say: all my life I was a bride, married to amazement.” Read the zany adventure here.
Karen, you inspire me: as a writer, as a newbie, as an old soul, as a parent, as an insightful advocate, as a human. Thank you for being my friend.
