Why I Started Writing Letters Again (And Why They’re Showing Up in Mailboxes)

Not every story is meant to be posted online. Some stories are meant to arrive quietly in your mailbox.

I’ve been writing letters again. Real ones.

The kind that arrive in your mailbox instead of your inbox. The kind you open slowly at the kitchen table while the coffee is still warm. Some of the letters will be reflections about the strange, beautiful work of being human. Some will be stories about the small moments that shape us. And every so often, tucked quietly inside, there will be a chapter from a book I’ve been writing.

A story about my mom. The sound of her laughter in the kitchen. The quiet spaces she left behind. About the kind of love that changes you forever…and the grief that quietly rearranges your life after someone you love is gone. I’ve been writing it slowly. Memory by memory. Page by page over the past few years. I think stories like this are meant to travel gently into the world, not all at once, but in pieces. Folded inside envelopes and shared with people who understand that some words are meant to be read more than once.

This is what the Light Keeper Letter is.

Once a month, I’ll send a letter out into the world. A story that holds encouragement from one human to another. And sometimes, a page from my book I'm knee deep in. The first letter is coming soon and if you’re someone who still believes in slow stories, handwritten words, and the quiet comfort of opening real mail, you might enjoy the Light Keeper Letter.

A porch light stays on so people know they’re welcome.

These letters are a little like that.
