Letters have always been a beautiful landscape to me, one I could write as freely upon as the breeze blowing across the Minnesota summer trees. The one place where I could know someone was listening, even if it was just God. The one space where I could watch the ink from my pen sinking permanently into the paper, putting the truth into an 8 ½ by 11 frame that no one could deny or question or try to manipulate or spin or call me an outright liar for finally saying out loud.
You may have your own story, your own truth, one you’re ready to tell out loud, but maybe only to yourself right now. The important thing is you’re getting
started, WE’RE getting started together…
Now, let’s talk about HOW we got this community started, that part of everyone here’s story is the same: we each took a deep breath, got out our laptop, smart phone or journal, whatever you feel most comfortable writing within is fine and started writing.
We offer a safe space on this site in the form of a private portal where you can keep your own private correspondence, in conversation with yourself, with those who hurt you, to the world. You can pause whenever you want, and safely and securely return whenever you wish to continue your healing. In time, you might even feel comfortable enough to share something small with the community, anonymously if you wish. Within our refuge here where trust is our bond, you might even find a few other readers and members of our community who feel enough sense of safety and security to even post theirs for you to read.
If you’re here, chances are you have a letter you need to write, but that doesn’t mean you have to rush your recovery. The safety and privacy here gives you the time you need, to write a letter a day if you want to, or take days to write that letter, just add a new sentence every day as you’re feeling inspired. So welcome, feel free to tour the site, meet founder Tammy McGinnis and let the healing begin!
