My Word for the Year

Posted on December 31, 2020December 31, 2020Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good last morning of 2020! Do you make New Year’s resolutions? I kind of get tired of saying for the ten thousandth time, “I’m going to eat better, lose ten pounds, get in better shape, read more, stress less.” Blah….. A few years ago I came across the idea of picking a word or short … Continue reading My Word for the Year

Not Just on the Oregon Trail

Posted on December 28, 2020December 28, 2020Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Christmas Eve to you! Almost ten years ago this November I was living in Los Angeles. It had been a fun few years but as things sometimes do I woke up one morning, went to work and realized that I was over it. I put in my notice, packed up my tiny room and … Continue reading Not Just on the Oregon Trail

18 Fleeting Christmases

Posted on December 17, 2020Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning! This week marks a year since I had my first kid. How long ago and recent it seems. The passage of time is always such a shock to us, even though of course it shouldn’t be. I’ve tried hard to grasp on to those tiny fleeting moments with my now-not-so-babyish baby this year, … Continue reading 18 Fleeting Christmases

Happy Frosty Thursday! My dad and son have been watching “My Octopus Teacher” on Netflix on repeat for the past few months. My dad loves swimming/the ocean/diving and Everett loves the pretty pictures and the soothing sounds. It’s good kid tv. Husband and I watched it the other day just to catch up on what … Continue reading Lessons from the Ocean

All the Happy Lights!

Posted on December 3, 2020December 3, 2020Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Hello! The year was 1993 and we had just moved from California to Boston and it was one our first Christmases in a place that actually felt like Christmas with snow, and hats and gloves and mittens and coats and all the rigamarole that winter entails with three kids (what a hassle for my poor … Continue reading All the Happy Lights!

The Home of My Heart

Posted on December 1, 2020Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Thanksgiving! As Thomas and Leigha and I were planning the events we want to pull off in 2021 yesterday, we inevitably got to the part of every Wednesday afternoon where I run around wringing my hands and wondering what to write about in this week’s email. “Just write what you’re thankful for,” Leigha said … Continue reading The Home of My Heart

About Letters From Lead

Hello! I write letters from Lead every Wednesday (the normal schedule but sometimes it deviates). I write about things I love about our town, thoughts on life here, and random musings. I also include what’s going on in Lead and the immediate vicinity, with general notes on events and happenings.

If you’d like to subscribe to future emails you can sign up here. If you have recently signed up and want to just read the letter portion it’s included below for you. Events and happenings have been omitted from these letters.

-Leigha, Director
