learning about letters {again}
So, I've been reading a blog called Today's Letters recently, by a couple named Tim and Emily Loerke. And as I've read, I've found the Loerke's to be a source of great inspiration. Their blog is based off the idea that letters can change lives [I totally agree!], and so the blog is letters that Emily and Tim write to each other, to friends, and even to inanimate objects [frequently tacos... which are always accompanied by scrumptious photos]. One of the things that both Emily and Tim write about sometimes is how important it is to ask for forgiveness. I love them for this! It's not often that people have the courage to admit that they don't have all of their ducks in a row. Admitting imperfection is BRAVE [Loerke's, if you ever read this- I think you're one brave duo!]. But finding ways to right our wrongs, apologize for hurt feelings, and forgive gracefully is equally as noble as recognizing our humanity. These are just some of the life nuggets I've gleaned from reading the daily and weekly musings of Emily and Tim Loerke; along with a favorite new nickname for things [Emily, I hope you don't mind if I borrow "little"], a renewed love for letter writing [I used to write letters faithfully on my bi-weekly late night shift in the RA office], and a childlike joy for hiding them around my house. Here's to Today's Letters for reminding me that words of encouragement are always readily welcomed by anyone, that I certainly don't offer up kind words often enough, and for giving me the inspiration to write my own!
