The Red Tent {Fear Not}
This is an email sent in by BWF reader, Rebecca A. Recently I re-read Anita Diamant’s, “The Red Tent” which is the fictional story of Dinah, the daughter of the biblical Jacob and Leah.

Work Will Wait, the Rainbow Will Not {Neither the Child}
I love this quote and I love this picture. It is my 5 year old, who dressed herself in her own unique style. When we were leaving the shop, she asked if she could sit in this rad rocking chair. My first thought was no, b/c I was in a hurry. I adjusted my thinking quickly though and said, ‘why not?’.…
