Literati! Thus spake my dear friend Laura McGee.
in an email to me this morning. Please take the effort to view this short video. Tis why we write, or least, tis one on the multiple possibilities.
I credit Laura, by the way, with saving my daughter Tamara’s life, for inspiring her being her bridge over troubled waters (hmnn..sounds catchy) as she rebuilt herself from the ground up after a crash and burn marriage. Before Laura, my daughter thought the best she could hope to be in life to support her kids was maybe a para-legal. AFTER Laura, Tamara NOW has her sights set on being an attorney–and of course, her dad (that would be moi) will probably need one by the time she passes the bar exam.
Pass on a little goodness, won’t you? share this great video.
This made me think of you and is so worth sharing: http://www.ted.com/

This brought me to tears. . .I posted it on my FB. I, too, believe in letter writing. . .This person is awesome. . .
Still the power of the pen, and now mightier than a click.
To see the twirl of a word pressed to paper, a double loop of a ‘K’, that blades
along the page ending in a top heavy explanation point, surrendering to the sensual
curves of an ‘S’ and the sharpnest of a ‘T’ as a ‘Q,’ quietly bites into my
flesh. The Love letter. Think I’ll
write one and send it to a stranger!
Thanks for sharing Thorn. Your “Love Letter” found it’s way to my heart.

HEY! I can come work with her as a paralegal then!!! AWESOME BEANS!!!
I made a vow when I first got my computer that I would never let it take the place of a hand written thank you note or a “love” letter. This is my comfession that I have broken that vow countless times because it takes time, and time is the most precious thing I have. Your ministry of letter writing has renewed my spirit. And never think for a moment that it isn’t a ministry! I have a bundle of letters from each of my children and from my husband of 64 years and countless grandchildren all tucked away, priceless!Thank you for nudgeing my heart into doing what it already knew was a gift for a lifetime.
Blessings, pd
