Hello

This is my attempt to try to compensate for my terrible letter writing skills. :) I'm hoping that this will help friends and family to hear from us without having to wait until they finally call and say, "Are you still alive?".....or "I haven't heard from you, are you okay?"

Letter writing has never been a habit I have cultivated in my life. My Mom faithfully writes dozens of people (even with the cost of postage becoming worse) and I watch her with a little twinge of jealousy when she receives beautifully handwritten letters in return, or thoughtful cards and we won't even discuss the tons of Holiday updates that line the archway near Christmastime. I am blessed to have a few dear friends and family that have hung on for the looonnnggg ride and continue to write, send cards, and even call, but my apologies sound so empty and even the excuse of having 4 children seems lame (considering that I should be teaching my children to write beautifully and blessing people with artwork and school papers).

So, my prayer is that through this blog, I will be able to extinguish the feelings of guilt for not sending pictures of our beautiful blessings and somehow encourage others through my journeys in life. :)
