November 13, 2022 By Carol

Dear Reader- Here we are days after the election and uncertainty still prevails.  If you feel like doing something, I have a suggestion: Write a letter. As you know, letters are my passion. So, I’ve signed up to write letters to voters for that special runoff election in Georgia’s senatorial race. VOTE FORWARD- began this […]

In difficult times…write a letter

April 27, 2020 By Carol

Today I found this post from Midwives of the Soul with this amazing photograph of Tasha Tudor. Like a boat lost in the fog and confusion of these difficult times, some Grandmother wisdom gently guides us like our North Star. My grandmother once gave me a tip: In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. […]

Buy some stamps today

Once again, I must ask you to help “Save the Post Office!” The business closures due to the coronavirus pandemic have reduced mail volume by 50%.

August 10, 2014 By Carol

August 10, 2014 Do you ever try to do it all? ” Try” is the keyword, it implies failure, or that the goal is unattainable.  Well, I confess, “I try, and try harder,” meaning I go faster, and still I frustrate myself with what’s left undone.  Going faster creates the illusion that I have more […]

Why (writing) letters still matter

August 5, 2013 By Carol

August 5, 2013 I have thought about this subject at length, and have written a variety of drafts to explain “Why letters still matter.” Basically, at the end of the day, when all of our gadgets have been shut off, we are still just human.  Yep, we’re human beings with all those messy uncomfortable feelings […]

Rise and Shine!

April 24, 2011 By Carol

April 24, 2011 Easter– a movable feast day.  It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon after the Vernal Equinox!
