So?

Words are powerful, full of meaning, tone, nuance. My childrens’ generation has learned to minimize words without giving up attitude and emotion. They text more than they talk, and forget writing! We FaceTime chat and YouTube for information. In my five decades, I’ve seen a virtual revolution! Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but I’ve never lost the love of buying school supplies; fresh pages bound together just waiting to be filled, new pens and pencils, hardcover books! It’s a sensory experience! I just love it!

Why should you care? Maybe like me, you’re compelled to put pen to paper in order to make sense of your thoughts. Maybe you do your best thinking on the page. Maybe crossing out or erasing is therapeutic for you and you can move beyond a situation just by capturing it on the page, and you walk away with closure and a profound sense of satisfaction!

Whatever drew you to my words here in this space, I pray you are encouraged for that is my purpose.
