Pull Up A Chair
Stories and events from our little corner of the world
Our Always Welcome newsletter and Deeper Conversations blog posts work together like any good relationship—one brings warmth and connection, the other brings depth and discovery. Together, they ensure there’s always a place for you at our table, whether you’re here for a quick catch-up or a long conversation.
For the full Always Welcome experience, visit us at always-welcome.org. Here, we’re exploring our local community in Howard County, MD, and discovering what life and community have to offer when we live more honestly together.
Pull up a chair. The conversations are just getting started.

ALWAYS WELCOME
Your spot at our table is always here
While our weekly conversations have moved to always-welcome.org/the-salon, we look forward to continuing to share seasonal updates from Frank & Ethel’s right here! We are so grateful for the journey and grace as we continue to navigate and shift with the times.
Grateful for all that’s been and yet to come!

DEEPER CONVERSATIONS
Where catching up turns into something more
You know those conversations that start with “how have you been?” and somehow turn into the real stuff? That’s what you’ve found here. This is where we unpack the bigger stories—the ones that need more time to unfold, more space to breathe, and maybe a second cup of coffee to really explore.
Want a second cup?
Life gets busy, and sometimes great newsletters get buried in the inbox! No worries – we’ve all been there. Here’s our complete archive so you can catch up on what we’ve been exploring at your own pace. Pour yourself a second cup and dive into Frank & Ethel’s journey!
