While doing my nightly reading one of my favorite blogs, I discovered something wonderful.
A husband and wife who are fed up with the materialism of the Christmas season decided to forgo spending money for gifts this year and donate the money saved to a small village in Africa. They are making gifts for each other that don’t cost a dime, and this husband has come up with a truly heartfelt gift. In his words:
“I am creating my wife’s Christmas present-the Mother Letter Project. Simply stated, I am collecting a series of “open letters” from mothers, to mothers. Share your stories—no matter how raw or difficult. Share you concerns—no matter how foolish they may seem. Share your wisdom—no matter how you came by it. Share your mother story.”
Will you write a letter? I’ll be composing one in my mind tonight as I rock my baby in the wee hours.
Visit the Mother Letter Project blog for all the details. And if you choose to submit a letter, you’ll even receive your own copy of the compilation.
So…Share your story. Write a letter. Encourage a mother.
That is really neat. Thanks for sharing this one. It’s always a pleasure visiting your blog.
