I think the language you use with salvation will be local grassroots. I teach my Sunday school kids we always at before advent have a plan of action and one year we gave away there are a lot of homeless people in Marin as you know and homeless families. We made little art packs for the homeless kids that were a ziploc bag with the biggest index cards in them, colored pencils and pencil sharpeners which can get like 10 for a dollar at Target because very hard for homeless kids to find a pencil sharpener right it's not a priority.

My first exposure to Anne Lamott’s work was her iconic book, Bird By Bird, which as a writer, was transformative. Not just because it helped me better understand how and why to write, but also because her wonderfully wise and irreverent voice inspired me to be more real, more honest in both my work and my life. I’ve remained captivated by her writing ever since. The author of too many The New York Times bestsellers, including Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help, Thanks, Wow; and her most recent Dusk Night Dawn, Anne goes places other fear to tread with such humility, humor and craft, it’s like you’ve been invited into her mind, her life and her ability to draw belly laughs, deep wisdom and hits of awakening from those often tiny moments that touch down in our lives that so many of us miss. She reminds you, it may not be fun while it’s happening, but it’s all part of the beautiful souffle of life and every ingredient matters. So excited to share this best-of conversation with you now.
