Jan Richardson
I’m a writer, artist, minister, and director of a company called The Wellspring Studio, LLC, which serves as an umbrella for all the writer/artist/minister stuff plus a few other things besides. My favorite projects are those that intertwine words and images. One of my loves is my small press, Wanton Gospeller Press, through which I design and hand-bind books that incorporate my art and writing. I live in, literally (and this is an actual, correct use of the word “literally”), a studio apartment; it’s a sweet upstairs space that feels like a treehouse. When folks ask me where The Wellspring Studio is, I say, wherever I am, there it is… You can pay a virtual visit to the studio at janrichardson.com; I’d love for you to stop by. The Advent Door is a blog I’m writing during the weeks leading up to Christmas.

It has been a joy traveling through your 25 doors of Advent. Your writing was a continual source of inspiration during my 60th plus Advent journey. Of special inspiration were the doors revealing silence, way making, knocking from the inside, finding a secret room and doing some dreaming with Joseph. My favorites were lectio divina, my favorite kind of prayer, and remembering forward, the thrust of my Advent season this year as I erased the timelines between the Hebrew scriptures and the Christmas story. Your choice of words is also delighful. With gratitude.
