Kindness

by Kristen DeLap


This is from a commencement speech by George Saunders to Syracuse University in 2013. The speech on kindness went viral and is now becoming a book. This is an exceptionally thoughtful passage.

A baby quilt

by Kristen DeLap


They should have received it in the mail by now, so I can finally share the baby quilt I made for Wilder Flynn, the new son of James and Jennifer. It's the kind of thing you'd never make for your own kid, because you are too sleep deprived, but I was happy to craft this for the new little dude.

Inspired by the colors of the ocean near their California home, the front is a blue ombré, and the back is a tonal print. All machine stitched. Hopefully he has much chance to use it when he gets home from the hospital!

Congrats, Flynns!

Her own words about great souls are some of the best to speak of her own death. We can be better because she existed.

In honor of one of the most significant authors of our time...a man who knew a thing or two about solitude, and magic.
