The hardest post I've ever written: When a Child is Lost, by @HeartspokenLife open.substack.com/pub/heartspoke…

Come see me on Saturday at The Shop on Main Street in Edinburg, VA, from 11 am to 1 pm. I'll be signing books and will have both hardbound and softbound copies. The 5th and 10th person to buy a book will get a copy of my popular booklet "How to Write a Heartspoken Sympathy Note."

@1610captain Beautiful...Lynn AND the sunflowers!

Beautiful evening on the porch - love the reflection of clouds in the table.

Handwritten letters are NOT a lost art. They still matter deeply, and Mike Lambert @1610captain explains why beautifully:

@1610captain A million hearts for this post. Yes, yes, yes...

Handwriting a letter carries a quiet, irreplaceable magic. Each stroke of the pen captures a moment of deliberate thought, a tangible trace of the writer’s presence—imperfections, pauses, and all. The paper holds not just words but the weight of intention, a keepsake that can be revisited, its creases and ink fading with time yet growing richer in meaning. In a world of instant communication, the slow, personal act of writing by hand speaks volumes about care, authenticity, and the enduring power of human touch.
