Odds and Ends

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your wonderful and touching feedback about my letter to my kids' "other mother". Some of you thought perhaps it was written for DQ's biological mom, but in reality, I wrote it with both biological moms in mind - DQ's and TP's. And because both of these adoptions are closed, I have no way to send this letter out to either mom. I've been asked by a couple of people if I would mind if they reprinted this letter and put it on their websites, and I gave them permission to do so, as long as I was given credit by using my first name and the initial of my last name, which is "W". So, if you would like to reprint it, all I ask is that you do the same, OK?

Secondly, tomorrow is the first day of Lent. This year, I am actually looking forward to this holy season. Jules and I started up a blog specifically geared towards Lent, so please check it out at www.fortytoforever.blogspot.com. It's not to late to join, so please let me know if you are interested.

And finally, please check out Darlene's ezine at www.christianwomenonline.net .
The March edition is now up now and fully functional And it is awesome. It's beautiful. It's breathtaking. She has worked so diligently on this endeavor, so please drop her a note of thanks. My very first magazine article is in it, so I m excited and nervous at the same time.

God bless each and every one of you as this Lenten season begins.
