Letters From Heidi

I’m Moving! Introducing ‘Letters From Heidi’ on Substack

My dearest readers,

You may have noticed that after a long hiatus, my pen has been moving again! I’m pleased to announce that I’m officially returning to the blogosphere with Letters From Heidia refuge for truth seekers, deep-feelers, and the homesick searching for Eternity. 

Over the past few months I have been migrating my content to Substack, a high-quality and ad-free platform for readers and writers. The authors on Substack are world-class and I have loved using the mobile app to enjoy all my favourite reads in audio formats. After some prayer and consideration, I decided to join the community with my very own publication, Letters From Heidi.

If we’re friends in-person, you’ll know that hand-written letters are my love language. I share, inspire and encourage best when I’m putting pen to paper. This is my hope for Letters From Heidi—that every post will feel like an honest letter from an old friend passing on relatable truth, meaningful inspiration, and heart-felt encouragement for the journey home.

What are your goals for Letters From Heidi?

📖 I believe beautiful words can change the world. I believe Truth cannot merely be taught as an intellectual exercise—it must also be shown with poetry, music, and story.

🤍 I write for my inner-child and for generations to come. I write to empower my inner-child and the next generation with gospel hope—that no matter our stories, in God, second chances are always possible. 

🌱 I write to restore what’s lost. The online world can be a shallow place of filters and fake news. I write meaningful, long-form content to restore authenticity and to speak truth in love in a world that’s desperate for hope.

🤍 I share my story so that you can feel less alone in yours. I write to build genuine community and camaraderie, so that together we can face hard things with grace, courage and resilience.

What can I expect from Letters From Heidi?

You can expect stories, essays, book reviews, devotionals, poetry, and bi-monthly e-letters on topics such as: 

  • Finding joy, meaning, and freedom in the gospel
  • Culture, identity and bridging the gap between East and West
  • Motherhood and healing the inner-child
  • Work, purpose and self worth (of a modern-day woman)
  • Analysing pop culture with a Christian and gospel framework
