How to Write a Letter

1/25/2019

I love receiving a letter in the mail. There is, for me, no greater compliment, then a pretty handwritten letter.

As a refresher, I thought I would share the five parts to a properly written Friendly Letter.

The Beauty of Home

1/14/2019

The beauty of home! That's what I was thinking about when my husband was having heart surgery at the end of 2018. Would I have to go back to work? How could I do this with children? It was then that I realized how much I love being a keeper of the home and how very very valuable it is, to me, and to God.

Reaffirming my Why and Nurturing the Soul

12/7/2018

Yesterday was one of those days! After 13 years, most of you know, God blessed me with a third daughter. I hope you enjoyed the picture sent via my letters. It has been so much fun!

I am just beginning to think about my writing goals for next year. As I think about this blog, I wonder ...
