Reflecting on 2012, With a Sigh of Relief

Years ago, I sent out a direct-mail appeal to raise money for programs helping women in Mozambique whose husbands had been killed in the civil war. Paragraph two in the appeal asked donors to support our work with "war windows." How that "n" got in there, I'll never really know. But the truth is, other than me, no one remembers. The letter still raised money, and our projects were funded.
