Challenge: Write A Letter

When was the last time you wrote a letter?  I mean a real pen and paper letter.
Let’s look beyond a sympathy card, because I’m hoping you still send those without being prompted.

It’s so easy to give a well wish through the internet.  But as easy as it is to give, it’s also easy to forget.  Especially when you’ve gotten 63 other birthday greetings {notifications} before noon.
I got a simple letter in the mail yesterday from a sweet
older lady I met 9 years ago.  She knows
my oldest daughter has dyslexia and sent a note to tell me to check out Henry
Winkler’s books.  Henry Winkler was “the
Fonz” on Happy Days.  He has a great
story about how when he found out his child had dyslexia,he realized he had
it too!  He has written books for children with dyslexia.  She just wanted
me to know.
The note was literally on a small piece of paper about the size of my hand, tri-folded and put in an envelope.  It made my day just seeing her name on the return address.  I felt so thankful that she thought of us and
took the time to mail a note telling about the books.
Challenge:
My challenge to you is to write a letter to someone this week.  It doesn’t need to be a long over thought masterpiece.  But it does need to be real.  Real pen, real paper, real words.  REALLY mail, or deliver it.
If you’d like to, take a picture sometime during the process and add it to your favorite social media site.  I personally am falling in love with Instagram.  Add hash tag #ASlightlyBetterWife

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
