For the woman who knows she was made for more and is yearning to return to how God intended her to be from the very beginning.
In the beginning, God did not build a wilderness and call it home.
He built a garden.
Not a sparse, functional, make-do kind of place. A garden so abundant, so intentionally cultivated, so lavishly appointed that the ancient Hebrew word used to describe it, EDEN, means pleasure. Delight. Abundance.
A place where everything needed was already present. Where beauty was not a luxury but a given. Where purpose was not a burden but a joy. Where the woman placed within it was not depleted by her assignment but sustained by the very environment in which it was given.
God did not design you for scarcity.
He designed you for Eden. Not idleness, there was work to be done, a garden to tend, a calling to steward. But work from fullness. Purpose from plenty. Giving from a cup that was never empty because the Source never ran dry.
Somewhere between that garden and this moment, between that original design and the life you are actually living, something was lost. Not dramatically. Not all at once. But slowly, quietly, in the accumulated weight of every role you carry, every need you meet, every demand you absorb, every version of yourself you set aside to make room for everyone else.
You have been living outside the garden for so long that you have forgotten what it felt like to be inside it.
This is the invitation to return.
In March of this year, I sat down and wrote a personal letter to each of thirty women I had invited to a gathering called the Rare Mother Event.
Thirty letters. Thirty women. Each one written from what I had observed, sensed, and understood about who she was, not just what she did.
I did not know what would happen when they opened them.
What happened undid me.
One woman said it felt like I had known her for ten years.
One said she saw revelation in the words, that I had somehow reached past the surface of her and touched something she had not shown anyone.
One kept her letter with her wedding certificate. In the place where she keeps the things she holds most dear.
And one and this is the one that stayed with me longest, said she could see the heart poured into every word. Not the skill, the heart.
I sat with that for a long time.
Because what those women were describing was not the experience of reading content. It was the experience of being seen. Genuinely, specifically, soul-level seen, in a world that mostly skims the surface of a woman and calls it knowing her.
And I thought, what if she received that every week?
Not occasionally. Not when she happens to attend an event or stumbles across something that finds her. But consistently. Reliably. Every week, a letter written for the woman who gives everything to everyone and rarely receives anything written specifically for her.
Around the same time, a brother sent me a letter that someone had written, one that had accumulated over 178 million reads. One hundred and seventy-eight million. And it quietly dismantled the myth I had heard too many times, that people do not read anymore. That attention spans are too short. That nobody has time.
The truth is simpler than that.
People do not read what does not matter to them.
But when something finds them, really finds them, they do not just read it. They save it. They share it. They return to it. They keep it with their wedding certificates.
That is what The Rare Letters are built to be.
So here you are.
You clicked a link, or a friend sent you something, or a trailer stopped your scroll at exactly the right moment
and now you are here, at the beginning of something that was built with you in mind.
Not a generic you. Not a demographic or a category or a target audience.
You, the specific, particular, irreplaceable Rare Mother, who is deeply loved by the people she serves and quietly, persistently unseen as an individual.
The woman who named her becoming in terms of doing and somewhere along the way, forgot that being was an option.
The woman who is excellent at everything except, perhaps, returning to her own garden.
Welcome.
You are exactly who these letters were written for.
Before the first letter arrives, there are a few things I want to ask of you. Not rules. Invitations. The kind that, if you accept them, will make this experience something you look forward to rather than one more thing you consume on the go.
🌹 One. Build your Eden corner.
Find a specific place in your home, a chair, a window seat, a corner of your bedroom and make it yours. Bring what makes it feel like pleasure.
A favorite drink.
A warm blanket.
Socks that make you feel held.
A candle.
A snack that feels indulgent.
Whatever signals to your body, this is my time, this is my place, this is sacred. Let that corner become the place where you return every week to receive. You pour from yourself constantly. This is where you come to be poured into. Protect it accordingly.
🌹 Two. Protect the time.
Tell your family. Put it in your schedule. Let the people who benefit most from your fullness know that this hour, this specific, weekly, non-negotiable hour, is the time you spend returning to your garden.
A regulated woman stabilizes her world. But she cannot regulate from empty. This is not selfish. This is stewardship. Protect it the way you protect everything else that matters.
🌹 Three. Do not keep these letters to yourself.
When a letter finds you, when it says the thing you have been carrying without words, when it touches the place you did not know needed touching, share it.
Send it to the friend who is quietly disappearing into her roles. Forward it to the sister whose marriage needs oxygen.
Keep it for the daughter who will one day need to know that someone understood what it meant to be her. These letters were written to travel. Let them.
🌹 Four. Invite others to join.
Every woman you add to this ecosystem is a woman who will be seen weekly instead of skimmed.
Direct them to the mailing list. Let the garden grow. There is room for every woman who is ready to return.
🌹 Five. Ask God for grace and yieldedness.
Not just discipline, though discipline matters. But the kind of grace that makes consistency feel like joy rather than obligation. And yieldedness, the posture that makes hearing possible, that makes the words land where they were aimed, that makes reading a letter an act of formation rather than information.
Ask Him to meet you in your Eden corner every week. He will.
🌹 Six. Stay connected.
The letters arrive weekly in your inbox. But the daily conversation continues on Instagram and TikTok, where wisdom travels in smaller portions, between the letters, for the ordinary Tuesday when you need something to anchor you.

The first letter arrives next Sunday.
It will ask you a question you may not have been asked before.
It will find you somewhere specific. And if you let it, it will begin the quiet, patient, beautiful work of returning you to the garden you were always meant to tend.
Not to a perfect life.
Not to a life without difficulty or complexity or the beautiful weight of loving people well.
But to a life lived from Eden.
From pleasure. From the lavish, intentional, God-designed fullness of a woman who has remembered who she was before the world told her who to be.
That woman is not lost.
She is waiting, in the corner you are about to create, in the hour you are about to protect, in the letter that is already on its way.
Welcome to The Rare Letters.
We have been waiting for you.
Until you read from me again, please remember to:
Do Less.
Be More.
Stay Rare.
Yours in grace,
The Lady Lorie
❤️❤️❤️
