November 19, 2015 • Julie Saffrin • Leave a Comment

I love being a part of holiday boutiques. On November 15, 2015, I had the good fortune to be a part of Holiday Market, put on by Amy Nylander and friends. This boutique benefits the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. What an awesome group to work with. Met some amazing people too. Thanks to all who stopped by my table. I loved meeting you and making a connection and hearing your stories. Congratulations to Cindy who won the Lavish Love canvas drawing!

Do it Afraid – Give a BlessBack

December 6, 2012 • Julie Saffrin • Leave a Comment

In my book, BlessBack®: Thank Those Who Shaped Your Life, I tell the story of Elisabeth Elliot feeling compelled to return to the very tribe in Ecuador that took the life of her husband Jim. Elisabeth told her friend, “I want to go back, but I am afraid.” Her friend said to her, “Do it afraid.” And Elisabeth did. These past two weeks at Hope Presbyterian Church in Richfield, Minn., we’ve learned about gratitude and the power of a BlessBack and how it changes our lives as well as the people we go back and thank. We have shared our stories of…

Today was a surreal day. I went to Harry Driste’s funeral in Paynesville, Minn. at Paynesville Lutheran Church. I went to honor and pay my respects to Harry, 101, a favorite janitor from my elementary years at River Ridge elementary in Bloomington who later became connected to our family.

He gave us 16.” His previous first wife to whom he was married for 56 years, Mabel, preceded him in death, as…
