Just a little announcement:
I’m excited to let you know I have an essay appearing in the current issue of Alexandria Living magazine!
It was a thrill to work with the kind folks at the magazine and as an Alexandria, Virginia resident it was especially fun to contribute.
Below is the link to my piece in the online version of Alexandria Living. Check it out, and if you like, please comment on the magazine website in the space just below the essay. We would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks to all those who’ve asked what I’ve been up to lately. Blogging continues to be great fun and has proven to be an exciting pathway to opportunities like this. As their newest columnist I’ll be writing a piece for each issue of Alexandria Living. Exciting!

Hi there! I can always count on your support, since day one I think! Great summer here. And how are things with you?
A great story, thanks for sharing it and congratulations on your new column!!
Hi Doug! Thanks for that.
MANY, MANY Congratulations!
Thanks!
Of course 🙂
Interesting summer for me. I’m still doing my daily spiritual work to shift the planet. Hoping to finally see some results!
Glad you had a great summer.
Hope to meet someday!
I hope that shift works! Meeting would be great. Really you and a handful of others have been around since I started blogging and always interact and give me encouragement. It’s helped me many times!
Glad to hear that. Blogging has always been about community and relationships to me….connection.
What a wonderful piece SOMETHING SMALL IS BIG ENOUGH is! It made me cry and should be required reading for politicians and everyone alive and capable of comprehension.
Well THAT was beyond a compliment! Thank you!
And I have no shame in asking if you commented on their website… a comment like that should go public! Haha, I agree that politicians especially should read ANYTHING that might encourage them towards kindness and cooperation. Thank you again, I loved your comment.
Yes, I did reply (same reply) on their web site. This really touched me .
Well I appreciate your comments and more than that I appreciate that you enjoyed it. Thank you, thank you!
Lovely story, thanks for sharing. 🙂
Congratulations, Stuart!
Love this post!!
Thanks Wendy!
Congratulations!!!
First of all:
A baby robin, apparently swept into the creek during the rain, had managed to climb onto a large rock surrounded by the fast-flow-ing water. There he sat, soggy and shivering.
“We’ve got to get him!” the boy cried as he ran down the over-grown bank and stood at the water’s edge. The father followed.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Second, this echoed a sermon I listened to earlier. 👍 I’m glad you got a column in a city mag — people need your voice. (P.S., I went to college at 28 to write and edit for a city mag, so I’m super jealous.)
I appreciate such a kind comment! Well you found a job with your writing so it’s ME who is jealous! Haha! Thanks again, very much.
Congratulations, Stuart…
Thanks!
