Relationships That Work: A great relationship

'Shelter in place’ with its hardships, isolation, and forced togetherness is stressing all of our relationships...but coming back to the table and practicing what connects us can make them grow stronger instead of fall apart. We need each other all the time, but more than ever now.

What's Worth Living For Doesn't Go Away

Everything else is cancelled as we stay at home. We will have to wait for the brunches and egg hunts. Fabric won't host a physical Easter gathering like we love to do. But like flowers poking up through the snow, life worth living is not waiting.

Worth Living For: COVID-19 EDITION

The world isn’t what we thought it was a week ago. COVID-19 has changed everything… almost. What hasn’t changed is what’s worth living for and that is what Fabric is about. Here, Greg Meyer shoots straight about what this pandemic means - not from a health or economic perspective, but from a 3-stranded, what matters most perspective. That’s what Fabric is and will continue to be, even in new ways.
