Off-topic, just for fun...

As our “Response of the Heart” team wrap up a well-deserved season of vacation (in the Belarusian tradition), I want to thank you again for journeying with New Thing.

It really means a lot to me, and to our team, that you’re willing to track with this work of compassion in a place most folks never think about.

Most friends of New Thing were introduced to the work when I spoke to their Rotary Club (150+ Clubs in the past 4 years).

In each meeting, I give everyone a copy of my book Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Silliness.

(If you haven’t seen it but would like to, just let me know; I’ll be happy to email you a PDF.)

The book really has nothing to do with New Thing’s work; it’s just humorous commentary on life in small-town America.

But if you’d like a few laughs along the same lines every week or so, you can subscribe for free at Outsidah.com.

(And of course, unsubscribe at any time if you wish.)

It just occurred to me you might like to know about this. If not, just delete, no worries.

Thanks again for being part of the New Thing family!

More adventures to come!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
