About

Hello, I am the writer behind Tender Letters

This journal is my safe space, a place where I write what I feel, share what I love, and keep the small, beautiful moments that make up a life well lived.

But it was never just for me. If you found this page, this letter is for you too. Welcome. I am glad you are here.

Off the page, I am mom to two little bunnies, Levi and Beli, and two more little loves, CharleCooper and Mille. And once upon a time, to a cat named Kelli, who now watches over us from heaven.

What this place is

Tender Letters is a small online journal. Think of it like a diary that anyone is welcome to read. I write about life, love, faith, and the little things I notice along the way.

Why it exists

Words have carried me through hard days. I believe they can carry you too. So many of us hold feelings we never say out loud. This is a quiet place to set some of that down, and feel a little less alone.

Who it is for

This is for anyone who needs to feel seen. The person waiting for a kind word. The one missing someone. The one who just wants to sit with a good letter for a few minutes. You do not need a reason to be here.

A corner that holds more than it looks like

I call this a quiet corner, but what fills it cannot be measured, the same way you cannot measure the ocean by looking at the shore. Love works the same way. It looks small from the outside, until you are standing in the middle of it.

How it can touch you and the people you love

A letter can hold what is hard to say face to face. Reading one here might remind you that you are loved. Writing one for someone else, through this site, might be the thing that finally tells them.

How to send a letter, and where

Want to write a letter for someone you love? Visit the Say Hello page and send it to me by email. I will read it and give it a home here, so it can find them, wherever they are.
