Pat Deegan's Newsletter

Pat Deegan's Newsletter Hi Friends, These are scary times and, like you, I am working hard to adapt. I've experienced some lovely moments of grace, though. There is something deeply moving about being in the midst of a global pandemic, while spring flowers are inching up through the thawing dirt.

It's new life arriving in the midst of it all. I find solace and inspiration in that. We keep on trucking here at PDA. We are grateful we can continue to make our offerings available via the web. Check out what we've been up to. Hoping you and your family remain safe and healthy - Pat
