Posted by: deb at November 24, 2008 07:11 PMHey Andrea! I loved the childrens chorus SO MUCH! I just saw Coldplay a little over a week ago and as much as that filled my heart - this was better!!!
Posted by: heather at November 24, 2008 07:46 AMThank you for these tidbits!
So I bought Jen's cards (just love them) and also "The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting" by Brene Brown. :)
I fell so in love with the Trust cards, and 2 people very special to me will be getting them for the holidays.

Posted by: Catherine at November 19, 2008 08:08 PMAndrea, thank you for the wonderful gift idea. I think that the Trust cards will be perfect or my younger sister (who battles 2 types of cancer) and for my 80 year old mother who just needs a random treat in her day. As always, your blog inspires and enlightens. fondly, Patricia

Posted by: Terri at November 19, 2008 05:02 PMYou have a special gift. You spread hope, joy, and love everywhere you go. Even when the words aren't your own you have a special way of finding the very best that others have to offer, too, and bringing it all togther into one place so that inspiration and love can reach even further.
Posted by: Nicole at November 19, 2008 03:54 PMthank you for those lovely links. all of them are so good for the soul. i followed a link to the kids' choir blog and watched a couple more of their performances. during a performance with them neil finn called it 'the most hopeful sound on earth'. how beautiful.
