Ten years ago, I picked up an Apple Pencil with no idea where it would lead. I just loved calligraphy.

And then a few years later, I lost my sister, and drawing became something more than a hobby. For the first time, I was creating art for me, and it was helping me process the grief and start to heal.

I started saving what I made to my phone, using them as daily reminders. Then one day an idea came to me: maybe instead of generic greeting cards, the world needed ones with words people would actually want to keep... kinda like the ones I was keeping on my phone.

Two weeks later, I lost my grandma, and that's when I knew... It was time to start designing cards for The Lovely Letter Co.

I don't know how I did it, but just 3 months later, it officially launched. There was an online shop opened, I set up for my first market, and my cards found their way onto a coffee shop counter.

That little dream I had, was coming true.

People were connecting with my cards, and they started opening up about their own stories, telling me these were exactly what they needed for a friend, for family, even for themselves. That same mission and connection is still what drives this shop today.

I can't help but wonder what would happen if more of the right cards existed, and the difference that could make for someone's day, their month, their year. What difference it could make for all of us.

So whether you're looking for the right words to send someone, or you're the one who could use a little encouragement, that's what The Lovely Letter Co. is here for.

Meaningful moments, shared.

Before the lovely letter co, i was a teacher.✏️🍎

Honestly, the cards that meant the most weren’t the fancy ones. They were the random two-line notes that showed up out of nowhere, usually right when i needed them the most.
“thank you for your patience.”
“we’re so glad you’re their teacher this year.”

The simplest notes, but i thought about them all day.
That’s kind of the whole reason I’ve continued designing cards.

I hope they’ll hold your encouraging messages for when she needs it the most🤍

Lately i'm learning what work-life balance actually looks like... And honestly? it's not the balance I always pictured as a type A person 🤪

It's giving myself grace when i wake up late.
It's taking a walk before i start working because it’s good for my body and my mind.
It's letting myself pause a task and start something new without feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

I'm learning what it looks like to plan and then surrender the plan... to trust that whatever's meant to fill my day will fill it — whether I wrote it down or not.

And here’s another thing I’m starting to learn…

instagram makes the hard stuff look a lot prettier than it is.

I know it's silly and obvious but hear me out.

I’m starting to realize that when you're scrolling, you don't have to put any energy into what you're seeing… you just get the finished thing. You get to watch it come together while the person behind the camear puts all this energy and effort into making it happen.

It's so easy to look at someone's life and think omg they have it figured out, and see them do it all... work, run a business, create, excercise or do the thing you’ve been dreaming of...

But what we're actually seeing is the product of their energy. They overcame the mental load to do the thing. All we did was look and admire the process.

We saw the tip of the ice berg.. They saw and experienced the parts that were below the water.

This idea has inspired me to create more.. to overcome the mental load and just do.. not for my feed but for myself and for the work I’m called to do.

I hope you feel inspired to do the thing you’ve been waiting to do and yet always watched others do it. Because life is too short to quite literally watch it pass you by.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk today 😁

if you’re tired of the card aisle letting you down, you’re in the right place 🤍

i started the lovely letter co after walking through a season of grief and loss. i received so many cards. people were kind, i know they cared.

but as i opened them, i kept feeling the same thing. every “i’m sorry” and “thinking of you” felt rehearsed, like it was pulled from a script. none of it came close to the weight of what i was actually carrying.

so i started writing my own words down. my prayers, the truths i was clinging to, the things i wished someone had said to me. eventually i realized someone else might need those same words too.

that’s still the heart of this space. simple designs with intentional words, so you can show up for the people who matter most to you, in the moments that matter most to them.

curious what i mean? comment “card” and i’ll send you one so you can see for yourself 🤍

Did you know i'll handwrite and mail your card for you? it's one of my favorite things i get to do 🥰

Here's why i built it..
Life gets busy. I can't tell you how many times I've spotted the perfect card and thought, this would be amazing for... and then just never sent it. Life got in the way. The moment passed. And the person never knew I was thinking of them.

That's exactly why Send for You exists.

Here's how it works:

1. Choose your card.
Browse our collection and find the one that says exactly what you want to say.
2. Select "Card + Send for You."
On the product page, choose the Send for You option, then fill in your recipient's name, address, the message you want written inside, and who to sign it from, all before you check out.
3. I handle the rest. I write your message inside the card, hand letter the envelope, and mail it straight to them.

Shipping is free on all Send for You orders.

So next time you see a card and think, this would be perfect for... just select Send for You. And I'll take it from there 😉

Let's be honest.

When a friend is going through something you can't relate to, or something really big, things can get awkward.

You want to reach out, but you freeze. What do you even say? "God's got you" feels too small. "This season will pass" skips right past how hard it actually is. So sometimes we just say nothing at all, and then the moment passes and the silence gets heavier.

I've been there. I've frozen. I've said the generic thing and immediately wished I hadn't. And I've learned that showing up doesn't require the perfect words. It just requires you to acknowledge the hard and let her know you see her in it.

So if you're staring at a blank card with no idea where to start, here's a template you can borrow:

I've been thinking about you a lot lately, especially knowing that [what she's going through].

I can't imagine how [heavy / exhausting / lonely / hard] this season has been. I just want you to know I see you in it.

[Here's something that might encourage you...] OR [Name a specific invitation — her favorite coffee place, a walk, a meal you're dropping off. Think about her love language and do that.]

You don't have to fill the whole card. Honestly, one or two lines can mean a lot more than a long paragraph of the "right-sounding" phrases.

If someone came to mind while you were reading this, that's probably not an accident. Reach out to her.

And if you need the right card for your words, comment CARD. I'll DM you to send you a free card so you can send her the message for real. 🤍

✨ Today is both Friendship Day and National Sister's Day.

The women in these photos are some of my favorite people. They've shown up for me when it wasn't always convenient, sat with me when things got hard, and never asked me to have it all together.

And honestly, they probably don't hear it enough.

Chances are you know some women like that too.

So maybe today's the day to tell her. Tell her you're grateful for her, and the ways she's supported you or shaped who you are.

Send her a text with a favorite photo. Or send her a card she can keep and frame.

You might never know how much she needed to hear it today.

And if a post like this reminds you of someone you miss, or a relationship that's changed, I know how heavy that can feel. I just want you to know I see you, and you're not carrying it alone today. 🤍

I've always been an iced coffee girlie. And then I went to Sri Lanka. ☕️

Turns out it's pretty hard to hold onto your iced latte in a place where tea is basically a love language.

It started on the plane (thank you, Dilmah Tea for introducing me to Ceylon tea).

By the end of the trip I was reaching for tea over coffee without even thinking about it. And somewhere between all the steeping and sipping, tea taught me something I didn't know I needed...

slow down.

Every cup has one constant, whether it's a perfect chai or a tea steeped for two minutes.

That constant is waiting.

And waiting is the exact thing I spend most of my life trying to rush past, mistaking it for falling behind, when really it's where life keeps trying to hand me something good.

That's the heart of this newest design: Slow down, you're doing fine.

The pressure you feel today isn't yours to carry. And you're doing just fine, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Full story on the blog, Billy Joel and all. Comment SLOW and I'll send the link 🤍

😬Turns out, healing doesn’t work that way.

For so long after loss, I chased the feeling of ‘normal,’ believing that once I felt like myself again, the grief would be over.

But the more I tried to return to my old life, the more stuck I felt.

Here’s what I’ve learned: healing isn’t about going back to who you were before. It’s about learning to carry your grief forward, to integrate the loss into the story of who you’re becoming. It’s a journey of finding new footing, new purpose, and new ways of being in the world.

If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for the grief to end, please know that you aren’t alone.

The path of healing is rarely linear, and it looks different for everyone. But even in the midst of the mess, there is grace and growth to be found.

I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately, and I’ve shared more of my own healing journey on the blog. The link is in my bio if you’d like to read more.

Whatever season of loss or healing you find yourself in today, please know that your experience is valid, your timeline is your own, and I see you. 🤍
