  1. Michelle, such a gift you've given us this past month. I'll miss the nudge to pause and refill the well, doing my best to make sure my own hands are cupped to capture every day blessings. Thank you.

  3. Michelle,
    Just read your marvelous 2019 interview with Karen Boss, Charlesbridge senior editor. Your questions drew out rich responses that made me want to have BOTH of you sitting across the table from me with cups of hot tea in our hands and no schedules to accommodate! Thank you! Christie Lowrance
