Let me tell you about this place.

Becky’s Way is really Bill’s way of encouraging Becky to do more regular and structured writing. She’s really good at it. Just read a few things she’s written and you’ll see what I mean. She’s got an ear for writing.

And… I think – a heart for it too.

So this little corner of WordPress.com is dedicated to encouraging her to share some of the words floating in that creative head of hers. It all starts with a journal called her life, which states on the cover… “A remarkable woman. The warmth. The wisdom. A life worth living, recording and remembering. An authentic journey. Her moments. Her compassion. Her courage. Her journal… This is her life. Celebrate her.”

It’s full of blank pages. Well… mostly blank. There’s a brief quote at the bottom of every other page. A quote to inspire thought and writing. No rules, just inspiration. So what you’ll find here is one post for each quote. One stem with the the quote’s author as the title. The body of the each post contains that quote and the starter phrase, “Becky’s way of responding to this quote is this:”

There’s some more specific information about what comes with the gift of this blog here.
