I received word this week that I'm in and can now give a sigh of relief. (My sons also gave sighs of relief -- they don't have to find alternate Christmas presents!)

Your Sara Latta here. We are just tickled pink about the response to the Richard Peck workshop. And we still have four slots open. Hint, hint.

I hope you're planning to blog about this retreat. :)
