Hey its me.
I am at the reference desk so unless I ignore all patrons because I have earphones on – I will be missing the podcast!! Bummmer!
So here are a couple of questions…..
What has the response been for her from the many people that read her tweets? I unfortunately am not a tweeter at present. If a tweet is sent out can folks tweet back a response? And what have some of those responses been?
Do she get any flack for tweeting bits from other spiritual perspectives – ie dalai lama? Just wondering as our Dominican friends bring so many spiritual perspectives to their daily lives that it has been a real way for me to start relating to being catholic again.
Anyway – thanks so much for bringing these questions to the table. As always thanks for your gifts!

Thanks for the questions, Karol!
