Wow. You know the *coolest* people. :) Thanks for this - it's not only an inspiring story but it's reminded me that there *are* actually other ways of practicing my faith. That I not only *can* retreat, but it's actually good that I want to...<BR/><BR/>I've been dying for a retreat lately anyway... maybe I'll come to Portland. ;)Happyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18060152095194610475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16714549.post-24036431156049655322008-03-13T20:44:00.000-07:002008-03-13T20:44:00.000-07:00Alan - The reason I chose to interview Rosalie is because when this month's topic came up, I thought to myself, <I>"I know NOTHING about this topic...so who can I ask?"</I><BR/><BR/>So it was interesting and informative for me, as well.<BR/><BR/>Hey, you added a pic to your bio...always good to put a face with a name.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16714549.post-22874627251516759952008-03-13T20:27:00.000-07:002008-03-13T20:27:00.000-07:00Erin,<BR/><BR/>Very helpful interview, especially for people like me who know very little about monasticism or neomonasticism.

I'd love to open up my home to people in that way ... but just not all the time :)<BR/><BR/>I love her approach to life to never feel like you're too old to do anything. My grandfather did a degree in musicology in his 70s. I plan to follow in his footsteps :)Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.com
