Kindred Heart Pen-Pals

I found this off of Jocelyn's blog so I thought I'd share!


We just received our Spring issue of Seasons At Home magazine, and something that I saw in there that caught my eye. Joyous Home has started a Kindred Heart Pen-Pals program that was for 19+, but just recently they opened it up to young ladies, ages 13-18.

“Taking the time for old fashioned correspondence is almost non-existent with the communication possibilities available today. Many people find little reason to sit down with a pretty piece of stationary to carefully pen a nice letter. Perhaps you enclosed a lovely bookmark, scented-pressed flowers, a photograph, or just a hello hug. So few know the joyous anticipation of this lovely gift!”

I’ve already enrolled in the Kindred Hearts Pals so that we can correspond through mail. I must say, I do enjoy getting letters in the mail, especially from people who I have come to be close friends with. It certainly does bring a smile to my face to see someone’s handwritten letter that they took so much time to write. If you would like to participate in this, please go to the Joyous Home site and submit your info. I would really encourage you to do so. It’s really for all ages!

If you would also announce this on your blogs to spread the word, even if you’re not going to participate, that would be great!

What Our Country Needs

What does our country need? Not armies standing with sabers gleaming ready for the fight; Not increased navies, skillful and commanding, to bound the waters with an iron might; Not haughty men with glutted purses trying to purchase souls, and keep the power of place; Not jeweled dolls with another vying for palms of beauty, elegance, and grace, but we want women, strong of soul, yet lowly with rare meekness, born of gentleness; The woman whom all-little children bless; Brave, earnest women, helpful to each other, with finest scorn for all things low and mean; Women who hold the names of wife and mother far nobler than the title of a Queen.


We are Maidens Against Feminism!
