I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving, and that these few days of rain haven’t erased the memory of the glorious weeks of warm fall weather that preceded them. I wish I could bottle some of that weather so I could take it out in January. 

I kind of feel as though I should have put “STAGE 4!!!!” in the subject line. We’ve been a while getting here. I do hope you’ve enjoyed the journey so far. I continue to find the notion of doubt as a catalyst for exploring what we believe a relevant and hopeful one, an approach that takes that most ordinary human experience of doubt and gives it a fresh sense of purpose, a profoundly significant reason for being. I like that! So this Sunday the Talky Bit will finally begin to poke around in Stage 4. I look forward to having some of us find glimpses of ourselves represented in these explorations, hopefully in ways that are heartening and that renew our sense that we can be both doubt-ers and thrive-ers, perhaps even at the same time.
