[...] I was introduced to the LDS women’s literary magazine Segullah at the MAF retreat I went to back in March. I’ve been subscribing to their blog ever since, and am planning to start a print subscription as well. This morning I read an entry there that was one of the most moving I have ever read. It might be because it relates, if a little distantly, to the play I’m working on at the moment. But mostly it’s because it’s beautifully crafted and incredibly honest. I’m just going to leave it at that, and give you the link: http://segullah.org/small-epiphanies/the-essence/#more-3196 [...]

Michelle – this was perfectly beautiful. I felt every word. What a gifted writer, mother and daughter you are. I believe during times when we can’t simplify our lives or “weed” them thinner, God’s Spirit continues to speak to us – but in ways He knows we will recognize. He is always whispering. You have the desire to hear and you will. Windows of time will open and you will be able to be the strength to your Mom and others – that you want to be.

You wrote the sweetest offer on my own post last Sunday – to hold our babies when they come because you also live in Salt Lake. One of the reasons we returned to Salt Lake was to be closer to my Mother who is fighting her second brain tumor. I understand the unveiling that happens when someone is suffering like this. You described it sublimely. I would love to be a comfort to you as well. You will be in my heart and thoughts. Please keep us informed of your sweet Mother’s progress. Blessings.
