As I mentioned a month or so ago, I’ve been “doing art” to combat some of life’s stressors. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve been able to pull off. In fact, one of my friends loved my doodles and drawings so much that she chose one as her new logo. Wow–right? Thanks to artist … Continue reading Art Mail and Watercolor Therapy
My mailbox has had lots of fun this month, and while I can share some things later, I can’t put off sharing my “heart” mail any longer. After all, talking about Valentine’s Day in March is pointless. The image below is a handmade card I received from Diane, “Midteacher,” on swap-bot. The card was designed for … Continue reading Happy Heart Mail!

Liberate Your Art 2014 came and went all too fast! Thanks to Kat Sloma my post office box was happy again!

I managed to get to one of Jennifer Belthoff’s Write Together sessions earlier this month. I intended to return to the prompts and write more fully about them. That hasn’t happened yet, but in recent days my response to one of them proved to be a test of discipline and my commitment to myself. I … Continue reading Wildflowers in the Mail | What Are You Nourishing?
Are you okay? Really okay? The world can be chaotic and exhausting. When we think things can’t get any crazier, they do. When we think we will work together to find solutions for the world’s ills, we create more problems. When we think we can’t get any wearier, there’s always something that proves otherwise. Sometimes … Continue reading Wildflowers in the Mail | Heavenly Spots
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. –1 Thessalonians 5:11 Scripture mail might be my favorite type of mail to send and receive. There’s something about opening a postcard or an envelope filled with scriptural goodness that fuels the spirit. Whenever I receive scripture mail, it … Continue reading Scripture Mail | An Encouraging Word
Thanks to a busy week and fatigue, this blog week did not go as planned—with a first post on the fundamentals of scripture mail followed by some of the encouraging scripture mail I’ve received. I’ll back up to those post in a few of days. But today, I’m sharing the ultimate in scripture mail—The Holy … Continue reading Scripture Mail | The Bible That Has It All! [And Giveaway Winners]
Who says you can’t fit a tree in a mailbox? My pen friends certainly know how to use snail mail to share what’s growing in their parts of the world, and today I am sharing three photo postcards for your tree-loving pleasure. My pen friend, Lori Ann W., sent the photo postcard above last October … Continue reading Snail Mail | #ThursdayTreeLove | Tree Mail!
