A few days ago I got an email from Barbara, a textile and mosaic artist, that touched a nerve with me.

Everything is interconnected, so when you learn to handle one challenge, you’ll find that you actually know how to handle lots of challenges.
Here’s Barbara’s letter (edited a bit for clarity):
I got an email the other day from one of my students that made me really sad.
I have been wanting to write a blog post for two days.
