Prayer Gardens

Hello! 

Many of you know Jen Richardson from her posts on Ecosophia and her offshoot Resilience Club blog (https://jenrichardson.dreamwidth.org/). Many of you also know from her comments the happy news that she is expecting a baby in the fall.

I’d like to propose a new community building tradition – the Ecosophia Community Virtual, Asynchronous Baby Shower and Blessing. (Maybe someone has a better name!)

With Jen’s permission, I am posting some ways to get involved.

GUEST BOOK - Jen has created an open post on her blog  to act as a Guest Book where you can add your happy thoughts, wishes, blessings, and prayers for the new family.

GIFTS- If you’d like to send a gift, I am coordinating logistics on that. Jen is having a girl and is appreciative of gifts, especially already loved clothes and baby items to reduce environmental footprints. She also would love books for the baby or to read during the long hours of feeding.

• Step 1 – Please message me here via Dreamwidth for her address. 
• Step 2 – Please take a look at the ‘registry’ and add anything you send. Readers of the JMG blogs are likely familiar with the “potluck potato salad problem” and while Jen might appreciate 1 copy of Retrotopia to read at a 3am feeding, 12 copies would be less useful! In the interest of avoiding duplication, I’ve made a very simple registry (https://ethercalc.net/ifky7wml9rgj)
  

PRAYERS – Jen has indicated she is very grateful for all prayers.

Congratulations to Jen!

Any questions? Post a comment or message me. Thank you!
(Update: Please feel free to message Jen directly if you have a question about a gift itself. I'm here for the address and technical support.)
