Kimberly, your words landed in my lap this morning! Sometimes I marvel at what draws me in when I have so many choices and far more than I can keep up with. It was as if they arrived “special delivery” as a special blessing. Holding on to your quote from the Sister, I just told my husband I’m going to stop being so hard on myself. And I’m going to pull out the box of love letters my parents wrote to each other when they were apart the first year of their engagement. Who know what could come of that…? Thank you so much! ❤️
These words here are so meaningful, Kimberly! And I am reminded of the many years while living on an island where I wrote letters and received them back from friends and family.
I’ve read your words twice, Kimberly. Beautiful. And I love the idea of that letter-writing assignment. Such a gift 🧡
Thanks so much for reading (twice!), Deb:)
I took the ten minutes, wrote what I saw and heard in mind’s eye:
Your love is a seed
Small
Yet feeds multitudes
It’s plucked up like a worm
Into a bird’s mouth
Carried on wing and a prayer
Dropped from the air
Onto fertile land
Where it spreads to worlds you’ve never visited
Yet inhabit nonetheless
Do not diminish your smallness
It is greatness in another dimension
No need to turn up the volume
On the quiet seasons of your life
Their hummingbird buzz is
Beauty.
Wonder.
Delight.
Far reaching
Beautiful! Strong words to live by.

I'm so glad it resonated with you! I hope you discover many jewels in the treasure chest of memories in your parents' letters.
Just discovered you through Sarah Westfall. 👏🏻 👏🏻 Grateful for your reflection questions/activities. Just what I'm needing right now! ❤️
I'm so glad you're here, Sara! And grateful you found me through Sarah Westfall--she convinced me to move over to substack:)

What a time to be alive--when we actually received real letters in the mail!
So glad you're here Kimberly!
