Dear Readers:

You’ve heard the saying that few things in life are free. There may be some truth to that. Even though the six essays in the Fall Issue of Thread are now, officially, delivered to your email inbox, my hope is that you will spend some time reading them.

Perhaps there are a few things in life that, with a bit of effort, set you free or at the very least, get you thinking in a new way. I believe that one or two of the pieces in this issue can just do that. They are personal, pensive and provocative.

Enjoy them, and feel free to comment below, or on Facebook or Twitter.

To a fall that moves you just a little out of your comfort zone and into something spectacular.

Ellen
