I'm participating in Wordcrafters' Nap-a-thon. Will you sponsor me?

My family knows I'm not much of a napper. Still, I've signed up for Wordcrafters' first-ever Nap-a-thon. It’s a fundraiser that asks me to do something wonderfully simple: rest, on purpose.

This month (October), I pledge to take three deep breaths every time I take a break.

Why? Because I've been feeling a little out of breath lately--there's just too much going on in the world.

I've been enjoying Wordcrafters' events since the very first conference. This year I've taken it a step further and joined the board. I've benefitted from the welcoming atmosphere and inspiring workshops and want to share the wealth. Every gift to my page supports Wordcrafters' programs—including Writers in the Schools residencies, which bring creative writing instruction to kids across Lane County—and helps keep the Wordcrafters writing studio open as a vital third space for the local writing community.

Thank you for considering a gift. I'll let you know how it's going.
