When I first became a stay-at-home mom with two little ones under two, my world revolved around taking care of my family. Leaving little room for my own needs. Life felt repetitive and dull. Even though the house was cleaned, I felt bored and unfulfilled. That all changed the day I discovered Calligraphy. This art brought calm to my mind, beauty to my days, and a fresh sense of joy and purpose. It became a creative and productive outlet that gave me something to look forward to, and a path for personal growth. I want to share with you the soul fulfillment of writing beautiful letters.
