Frequent Updates

I've found periodic email updates I get from friends become precious to me.

Out of all the people that have sent periodic emails talking about events in their life, the last one from a friend that moved down to Santa Cruz I got a few months ago really inspired me to start doing the same. I appreciated their letter and thought I should share the same consideration for others.

Just reading a letter from someone can bring you out of your own life for a moment. Far too often we get stuck in a place where we're so focused on our own lives we don't see what's going on with those around us.

By looking at those around us, getting involved in their lives, holding them accountable when they slip, and helping them with troubles they are working through, we invite the same involvement in our own lives.

Which is good!

We're made to have others help us with everything in our lives and not try and do things alone.
