Hi Keri, Congratulations! A great book I wholeheartedly recommend (if you haven't heard of it already) is: If The Buddha Married, by Charlotte Kasl. Speaks such sense! With charm and no smarm! And you don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate it.
I wish you both the very best.

Love and hugs xox

I've seen this on the horizon since Mr Pitcher first told me about you during one of those long nights mixing above the orange trees tracks.

Just had a feeling about it.

All the best and I hope to see you at the happy day, should you choose to make it a gathering!
