Author Mary Ellen Edmunds: Everyone has a story, burden
Mary Ellen Edmunds has an appreciation for porches.
In her book "MEE Speaks," the popular LDS author and speaker writes about porches facing an active street with neighbors coming and going, providing an opportunity for friendly exchanges. The amenities of porch-sitting are plentiful, she says.
"I love doing that with friends and family," Edmunds wrote. "Gathering and singing the familiar songs and visiting. ... Sharing burdens and joys. Sitting quietly. Just being together."
Edmunds has also taken a proverbial porch around the world.
