Dear You: Messages from Your Heart by Jacquelyn Fletcher – Holiday Gift Guide

Not many people know this about me – but I love to read quotes, affirmations, prayers, and meditations. I keep several books of daily meditations in my nightstand, and I usually carry one or two of them in my purse. I have quotes and prayers saved in my phone, written in my journal, and taped to my bathroom mirror. My Pinterest boards are full of them. When I’m feeling down, when I need guidance, or when my soul needs recharging, I flip through my books and images, and I find something that speaks to me.

Do you do this too? Or do you know someone who does? If so, then I think you’ll love the latest addition to our Holiday Gift Guide – Dear You: Messages from Your Heart, by Jacquelyn Fletcher.

Jacquelyn Fletcher, award-winning author (“Guide for Stepmoms” & “Cancer Widow”) and multimedia artist, has just launched her new book Dear You: Messages From Your Heart and related products. Fletcher is also the host of the Mayo Clinic’s Healing Words TV show and a founder of its Creative Writing at the Bedside Program. 

Her newest work, Dear You, is a series of inspirational and thought-provoking letters addressed to the reader from the caring but sometimes challenging character of “Your Heart.” The collection includes:

• Dear You: Messages From Your Heart book in paperback format, 204 pages with illustrations throughout
• Dear You blank journals in three styles with the themes of letting go, being brave, and appreciating life’s beauty
• Blank greeting cards with illustrations from Dear You, 4.25” x 5.5”, envelope included
• Prints of illustrations from Dear You in 5” x 7” size with an 8” x 10” matte
• Shadow boxes of Dear You illustrations in 5” x 7” size, comprised of a canvas print mounted in a black shadow box for free-standing or wall-mounted installation

As I flipped through the pages of Dear You, I found myself smiling, laughing, nodding, and picturing times in my life when these messages would speak to me loud and clear. For example:

• “Dear You, Why are you thinking so much about the one negative comment and no time honoring the praise you got? Doesn’t make sense. Love, Your Heart.” (So me!)
• “Dear You, What’s so hard about asking for help? Confused, Your Heart.” (I need to hear this often!)
• “Dear You, Quick question – why do you keep doing that when you know it’s not good for you? Love, Your Heart.” (Yep.)

Jacquelyn Fletcher has some wonderful messages to share – and she does it with a bit of humor, a pinch of sass, and a lot of heart. You can learn more about the entire Dear You collection and its creator at JacquelynFletcher.com, and you can purchase items directly from Jacquelyn via her Etsy store.
