For a while, we've been using modern technology, texts, social media, and emails to correspond with each other. The results from this modern way of communicating have left us with many problems. The ability to have face-to-face exchanges, to be aware of the nuances of mannerisms, to listen, to recognize that this is a person I'm talking to, and to be respectful of their feedback. Of course we can throw in a emoji and all is well. I'm sorry but I'm not buying it.

The value of the "word" seems to be lost. Will there be no more stacks of love letters tied with ribbon? No going to the mail box and finding a personal letter to read of family news? Taking the time to send a letter to offer a kind word, offer encouragement and support or just words to brighten our day. To hold this in our hands to read and cherish and always have to keep is far better than a emoji.

I recently wrote a letter to my Great-grandson, Gunnar, it is the first letter under "Samples" in section "Services & Samples" and I realized there could be a business here-writing letters for others. I firmly believe in the transformative power of words, especially when expressed positively. Words can elevate our mood, brighten our day, and offer valuable guidance to steer  lives. This is what I have chosen to do with my letter-writing business.
