Why I Wrote A Letter Is Better!: The Art of Thank You

I’m thrilled to share that my book, A Letter Is Better!: The Art of Thank You, is now available. In a world dominated by emails, texts, and quick messages, I wanted to shine a light on the power of a simple, thoughtful letter — something that takes intention, care, and time.

This book is both a guide and an invitation. It shows how handwritten or thoughtfully composed typed notes can strengthen relationships, create lasting impressions, and bring joy to both the sender and the recipient. Through personal stories, practical tips, and my “Me, You, & Us” formula, readers will learn how to craft authentic thank-you letters that feel meaningful and memorable.

I wrote this book because I’ve seen firsthand how a sincere note can transform relationships — from nurturing friendships to opening doors in professional settings. Gratitude, when expressed intentionally, is a skill that enriches every area of life, yet it is often overlooked. A Letter Is Better! is my way of encouraging people to slow down, reflect, and express appreciation in a way that truly resonates.

I hope this book inspires readers to make gratitude a daily habit, to reconnect with the art of meaningful communication, and to experience the unexpected joy that comes from taking the time to say “thank you.”
