Consider recycling the description into a generic phrase like:

Hey @camillewortman I've logged this as a task on the back of your email.

I think we have two options here.

My preferred option, and this is purely to maintain the visual balance of the design, would be to instead, where a resource does not have a description, display something generic using the resource type and the title, for example:

'An article called "Coping with Losing a Pet"'

The second option is to have no text at all, but it will make it harder to lay these things out in a visually balanced manner.

Let me know which you'd prefer so I know what changes need to be made.

As an aside, thinking from the perspective of a user, I'd want to know why a resource has been featured, and the description is the best place to do that. In fact even I have no idea why you've selected specific resources as being featured. I'm sure its because you've identified them as high quality and of value within that category, but presently there's nothing that tells me that as a user.

Is there an opportunity to use the description field not only to describe the resource, but also to explain why we've selected it to display on our site?
