Summary

Our story tonight is called Return to the Chalet, Part 2, and it’s picking up where Part 1 ended, at a little cabin at the foot of a snow-covered slope. It’s also about waking without an alarm and coffee by the fire, saunas and hot stones, soft hoodies, and not having to decide anything, quiet exchanges, and the achievement of letting yourself receive care without argument. We donate to a different charity each week, and this week we are supporting The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. They work to help Canadian parents, librarians, educators, and caregivers foster a lifelong love of reading in children and teens.
