QUOTES FROM:
Lisa R. Delman, M.A., Founder &
Author
Letters From The Heart Project
(tm)
“The Journey of writing a
letter guides us to converse with our souls and deepen our
hearts. It uncovers our true voices and our unique perspectives
on how we view the world. It challenges us to explore the depth
of our feelings-thereby creating a reflection of ourselves. None
of us are immune to life’s challenges.”
“What I learned from receiving
letters from women all over the world and my own process, is
that there is not always a right or wrong. We experience life,
interpret it through our own lenses and then make the best
decisions possible. An experience is what we learn from …and it
is what connects us to our hearts.”
“In the beginning and end, all
that matters, is for each of us to learn to honor the heart to
heart connection we inherited from our mom's and then to bring
the gifts of that learning to others.”

matter?
