Close to Home
The Monthly Letter
from my journal to your mailbox.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how everything feels a little too fast and a little too temporary lately.
You see something, maybe save it, and then it’s lost on your phone. Scrolled past, buried, or just forgotten.
There’s nothing to hold onto.
I have been obsessed with the idea of letters and the simple act of having something physical that you can keep and doesn’t disappear when you close a tab.
It feels like we’ve lost that a little. The habit of writing things down, sending them, and keeping them. The handwritten letter used to be such a normal way to connect and now it’s almost nonexistent.
So I guess this is my way of bringing a small part of that back.
Close to Home is a monthly letter from my journal sent to your mailbox.
It’s not meant to be perfect or overly curated. It’s just something real from that month that I've put into words and want to share with you. Some months it might feel more reflective, other months it might be simple or even a little messy. That’s kind of the point.
Each letter also comes with a few small additions from that month. Things I’ve been reading, collecting, or feel are worthy to be shared. Nothing excessive, just a few pieces that feel connected to that time.
I like the idea that over time, you’ll end up with a stack of these. Something you can tie together with string and keep under your bed. Maybe dust them off a few years from now and be reminded of where you were at this time.
If this feels like something you’d want to receive, you can join below.
I’ll write to you at the end of the month.
all the love always,
Steph
