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: A mini-course

Invitation: Join my Goodwill Words writing project.

Why? To support and reassure deserving (and appreciative) folks.

What’s my first step? Sign up for the free Write a Letter–Change a Life mini-course.

Mini-course contents:

— A drafting process I frequently use.

— A brainstormed list of opening lines, helpful words/phrases, and closings to guide you through your first letter.

— Strategies to stay inspired and focused.

— An ever-growing gallery of letters I’ve written. Use these as springboards for your own work.

— A list of benefits for Goodwill Words writers.

— A favorite destination for your first ‘change a life’ letter.

Get inspired.

Grab a pencil/keyboard.

Go for broke!

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 e xplored 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.

Goodwill words: Laughing at imperfection.

Using another calendar page to spice things up for another ‘elder’.

Nothing like human foibles to evoke a laugh or two.

Just a reminder: This is not a ‘see what I did? You should too! project. This is me following Austin Kleon’s suggestion to ‘share something small…’.
