WORTH IT! LOVE LETTER ARCHIVE

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I started sending these love letters to family and friends each month, hoping some would write back and share their news, joys, sorrows, and the things that make the struggles in their life worth it. I believe with all my heart that my purpose, my raison d'être, is to create more love in the world in the small ways I can. These lovely souls did that for me and Keith. They created more love in our world. We are forever grateful to them for helping us endure the many months of isolation by sharing their life and their love with us. If you would like to receive these letters too, we welcome all comers. You can give us your info here and get on the list. We’d appreciate it if every now and then, you let us know how you’re doing.

• WE ARE HERE TO CREATE MORE LOVE IN THE WORLD •
