Some Things Are Worth The Wait

Hi, I'm Trace.

I've been keeping a journal for 40 years — and for the last ten, every single morning without fail. The AlphaBet Journal began as a small wager — that there are still women out there who would rather wait for the mail than scroll through it.

Each month I write you a letter. It begins in my journal, in ink, on a quiet morning. I type it up, have it printed, and mail it to you with a small original artwork, a mantra worth keeping, a journal prompt, and one surprise of my choosing.

It’s not big. It isn't supposed to be. It's just a little letter that makes you feel remembered.

xo Trace

For the woman who...

…misses getting mail she actually looks forward to. …has a stack of journals she keeps starting and stopping. …collects stationery because she's sometimes hesitant to use it. …feels like midlife might be a new beginning but isn't sure what that looks like. …is tired of rushing. …would rather have one beautiful thing than ten convenient ones.

If any of those is you, you're in the right place.

What neighbors are saying

  • "Really beautiful — like getting back to a personal touch we've all disconnected from."

A quiet promise.

No urgency. No countdown timers.

Just a little letter and some art once a month, drafted by hand, printed for you, and sent through the mail like when you were a kid.

Because beauty, connection, and reflection are not luxuries. And you deserve to be remembered.
