I welcome your reminders, Elizabeth! They are always on target for me. I think my biggest problem is simply keeping it simple! As with most things, I tend to overthink!

I wholly agree that making time to write #Heartspoken notes is such a worthwhile endeavor. I was surprised by most of the well-known people referenced in your newsletter today who prioritize writing, but I always know I’m in good company no matter who my fellow note writers are. I simply could not write as well as I do without my trusty Thesaurus and iPhone notes app to either find just the right word or to jot down things that I want to share when corresponding with friends. I even use my photo roll to save meaningful quotes I come across on the Internet, then I take it a step farther to create an album on my phone with the name of the person I know would appreciate the particular sentiment.

I’m really enjoying your mini-course and I highly recommend it to everyone. I still refer back to your book as well. It’s truly a gift that keeps on giving because it’s not just a book you read one time and put on the shelf. It’s a guide post for anyone who wants to learn how to write notes that connect on a meaningful level. I’m so grateful to be part of the #HeartspokenMovement because I see firsthand how much value writing adds to my life and the life of those to which I correspond.

Thank you @heartspoken @ElizabethHCotrell for always supporting and encouraging each of us through your website, social media and Substack, that, “Whether written or spoken, words from the heart will never fail you.” Truer words were never spoken 🤍

What a beautiful, wonderful affirmation, Lisa. I am so moved when I realize someone else “gets” what I’m trying to impart. Our connections matter, and heartspoken notes are a powerful connection tool, too often overlooked. Keep writing!
