July 3rd a year ago, we decided to take our own advice and “forgo the idea of being ‘done’, ‘ready’, or ‘perfect’: we launched ‘the improvised life’. It is still a work-in-progress, as improvisations can be, one thing leading to another to another…surprising us daily. The best part has been the community that’s grown up around it, checking in daily, sending emails and comments: you are some kind of amazing fuel that makes us search out daily posts and hatch plots for the future . We thank you, deeply!

Now we are going to disappear for a few days, and celebrate July 4th, and a million blessings. See you on Wednesday (though we might slip in a post or two before!)
