Synopsis

In FROM ME TO YOU, JacLynn Morris and Dr. Paul L. Fair outline the surprisingly simple steps you can take to create powerful, touching messages for the special people in your life. This book is for anyone who wants to put love, advice, comfort and inspiration into written words.

Readers will find: 5 easy-to-follow steps to make messages that others will cherish; 2 techniques that make writing from the heart remarkably easy; and nearly 100 examples of powerful, personal letters written by men and women who applied the authors' message-making suggestions during joyful times (milestone events, renewed romance) -- in times of stress (illness, divorce, financial transitions) -- and even when they were feeling ambivalent about life's events (living with stepchildren, empty nesting, impending retirement).

FROM ME TO YOU helps even the most reluctant writers among us discover how easy it is (and how wonderful it feels) to put the best of ourselves in lasting messages that get through to others with clarity and impact.
