now we are six {with party favors}

The Smitten Word, like our firstborn, is a kindergartner. Seven hundred seventy six posts (with a little help from my friends) was never something I fathomed when I began writing here on a whim six years ago, but this remains a favorite space to flex my creative muscles and connect with you. The early years had more parenting and natural living, but we've always wrestled together with embodied faith, poetry, feminism, media literacy, peacemaking, justice, and what it looks like to be the Church.

I'm grateful to everyone who's been along for the ride. You make it fun, and to say thanks, I've got a few party favors up for grabs. Leave a comment, and I'll pick a few winners at random on Thursday at midnight. Happy Monday, friends.
