Goodwill words: Sending support to a fan of nature and baking
Time to return from a layoff from posting letters and notes. (It helps to inspire my own goodwill words routines.)

New book, a sample version
I put together a 9-page sample of my Sit…Stay…Heal! book.
Details here.
Enjoy the freebie! Screenshot the pages and text them to a friend. Go ahead! Take full credit…or blame. ;-{
Write something! said my previous post. So I did…
So I was assembling photos of my dogs…
The images seemed to ‘speak to me’. And I found myself smiling every time I worked on the project. So, I figured, why not take the extra step and make it a New York Times best seller?
Getting these 39 pages into Kindle format is a complete headache, so for the time being, the $2 masterpiece is being sold here.
Here are two sample pages…
Goodwill words: She should write a book!
As mentioned in my previous post, I really liked that quote at the top of the letter. It seems to fit the purposes of these letters.
In this case, I suggested with sincerity that Mary write a short book.
She definitely would have plenty to share.

Goodwill words: Support during uncertain times.
I found the quote that I used for my heading just today.
Good stuff.
I actually kind of like the idea of the recipient making a collage of the letters she received.
I hope it turns out for her.

Writers: Embrace failure.
When I came across a page online with the same message, I immediately thought about us writers. (I’ve probably even used the image before.)
I explored the topic more deeply here, including a link to Enjoying the Fun of Failure.
Goodwill words: A reminder to stay young and try something new.
Sometimes my notes to elders turn into mini-pep talks and reminders we still have control over how are days are spent.
It’s quotes like today’s that help move the message forward. So if/when I’m at a loss for words, there is always a quote or a calendar page or a photo from my camera roll to add impact and/or insight that I generally lack.
A plug for Love for Our Elders.
Tagline: We’re fighting loneliness with love, one letter at a time.
Am hoping the card spurs a little interest and action.
