I’m taking a blogging break until May 10. I’m getting married May 3 and I have so much to do and so many conversations to have, so much lighting to supervise and napkin folding style to decide upon – and you know, I have to admit, I love this wedding planning – I love the whole thing, the lists, the costumes, the choreographing, the seating, the big shebang, I really love it. It’s like producing the ultimate show. And I’m co-honoree and co-host, what could be better!?!

But I did want to point people towards the website www.homesweetearth.org. I have a little show on NPR (you know I knee-jerk always say NPR, but I mean Public Radio) for Earth Day, April 22, and I’m not sure exactly how many stations are playing it – I do know it will play in Seattle, Spokane (I had to have it play there, c’mon!) New York and I haven’t checked where else yet. We are hoping this is the beginning of a regular show on Public Radio in a year or so. In any case, you can download or listen to the show for free if you go to the website.

Take care! Thanks for stopping by! If you want to chat, go to the forum (you can get there off my website – it’s hoppin’!) And I love the section where people tell who they are and what their story is, I read every one of those and I feel so lucky to have people write posts there. Do it!

  6. I hope you have the most beautiful of days and the least amount of hassles on your most momentous day. It is always helpful to have a Lion Dance to bless you and to chase away any evil that may try to wiggle in.

  10. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I just finished rereading your book "God Said Ha!" and remembering my hyterectomy in 2006. We had already adopted two kids from China by then. I had given up on fertility treatements.

    WOW!! I'm so happy for you and your daughter!!!!!!!

  27. Congratulations, and I hope you both will be so happy. Being married can be so wonderful. Just want you to know that I have read through much of your blog, and I went through so much of the same motions that you did. It's a surreal experience that leads you in very strange directions. I am such a better person for it. Isn't an amazing experience? I don't know if you personally read these blogs, but if so, I just wanted you to know that there was someone who went through a very similar experience with amazing life changing outcomes.

    I see Letting Go of God has two screenings at the Seattle film festival, and that Julia WILL ATTEND BOTH! Way to go, Julia!

    I wish I could go see the film and the star live, but the best I can hope for is to buy the DVD when it comes out. Hopefully in time for Christmas, as it will make a great gift...

    First you reject the religion of your ancestors (who died for it against British cruelty) and now you made yourself a nice little industry out of 'look at me, I was Catholic and now I'm an Atheist aren't I something?'.

    Pays the bills and then some I bet, gets you invited to some trendy things as well. Nice little financial niche.
