Last week my husband and I enjoyed a few days away in one of our favorite cities, Chicago, and then closed out our road trip by witnessing the wedding of a friend. All in all, a lovely time away in a season of the year that I love the most – fall. But the...

I have always loved language. From a young age, I related to the world—and to myself—primarily through words. Whether that meant cuddling up for hours at a time with one of the many Little House on the Prairie Books or, as I grew older, sneaking out of bed to write in...

From time to time on these Friday posts, I like to share a collection of online articles from the last month that I think you might like. This time I decided to get a few of my Weaving Influence co-workers involved in sharing some of their favorite links. A big thanks...

During my recent trip to the USA, my husband and I took a drive to visit Becky and the other local team members in their fabulous new space in Lambertville, Michigan. Besides meeting with team members face-to-face (they are just as amazing and talented in person as in...

The Weaving Influence team isn’t huge. We’re growing – to be sure – but we still number in the double digits as a whole. However, for such a small team, there are a surprising number of us who have a personal interest in adoption. It’s...
