Love Letters to the Underloved

The idea: In celebration of Valentine's Day, gather twelve passionate people to honor those who line our lives, but often go unseen by writing love letters.

Who did we write? Moms who adopt, parents of kids with labels, the homeless, those who have lost loved ones, victims of abuse, defeated dreamers, parents of girls with eating disorders, our kids, and military wives.

The hope: To bring encouragement.

The result:




Clapping my hands, jumping up and down, thrilled to share with you!

From Tracie said...

Amy - you did a fabulous job putting this magazine together.

I was very touched by several of the letters that could have been written straight to me.

Thanks again for including me in this project. I'm honored to be among such great writers and beautiful hearts.

Amy Sullivan said...

Ladies,
Glad you are finding specific letters you can relate to!

Amy, this is really lovely. I especially liked the letter from Gaby. As a pastors wife it really touched my heart. I didn't quite understand what you were doing at first but it turned out amazing. Such a generous idea from your generous heart. Blessings friend.
