if you're looking for a story for a certain occasion:

find words for what you want to say...

We often hear from people, like you, who want to say something meaningful to one of your friends, or family. When they're going through a hard time. Or when they need to be cheered on. Or simply because you want to say 'I see you'...

When that's the case, you want something that's Exactly. Right. For. Them. You know that their favorite thing is sunrise & the song of birds. Or night when everything finally quiets. Perhaps they love the smell of fresh-baked bread. Or they most love to be in the woods, far from the busy noise all the rest of us like to make.

We don't know them the way you do. Whatever it is, trust that you know the words that they need to hear. Within each theme below, you'll find a selection of stories that speak to the people you know.

We hope this is where you'll find the words you want to say...
