[stylist] Easter Sunday Morning

[Lynda Lambert]

Donna,
I have to give a nod to Emily Dickinson on this idea of "church" being 
outside with the birds on a Sunday.
And, the Lemon Chiffon Sun grew from our discussion on exploring "color" in 
our words when writing.

I think this is one of the values of a group like ours, that we can explore 
ideas together with each other, and grow from our discussions.

Since I no longer have that daily contact with colleagues this is really 
important to me personally.

Lynda
