Note: This is the first email many of you have received, after having subscribed to Mtn. Roots Revival’s new website. See the post title in blue inside the email and click on it. That will take you to the post on our site. 🙂 Oh, and if you want to leave a comment, once on the site, see “leave a reply” below each post. If you navigate to another page on the site, you can get back to the blog by going to the menu up top and clicking on Mtn. Roots Reflections & News.

Over the few years of Mtn. Roots Revival, when we’ve shared a film of Mama or Granny…shared a memory or a rambling musing, many of y’all have written the sweetest comments, remembering your own country loved ones…time you spent with them…the old-ways things they did that you, too, loved so much.

When you get home today, write and tell us about them. We’d really love to include excerpts of some in the “Looking Back: Carrying On” book that’s been delayed…some will be very brief…some might be a paragraph or more. If you have a great recipe (or method) for something they baked or (even non-food items crafted by hand), you can send that later. 

For now, just write a casual note to us…like you would when you comment…write and tell us all about them. Don’t try to write all prim and proper 🙂 …just write like you’d talk on the phone…every word that comes to mind…just put it down and send it in, BUT DO IT TODAY PLEASE :)…just a few paragraphs…we always think we’ll have time later…we might not, so please just do it while it’s on your mind. 🙂

Don’t think of it as an assignment to be graded. When you write with abandon, that’s when your heart comes through…that’s when the joy in your memories can be felt by any who read your words. You can write it in a reply to this post (on our new website), or you can email it here: MountainRootsRevival.Handmade@gmail.com (don’t miss the “dot” before “handmade” when you write). In the subject heading of the email, if you email instead of comment, write: My Memory.

Permissions: We might include some or all of your memory in a post here, too. We’ll assume we have permission to do that (to include excerpts in a post on our website, on our Facebook page or in our books)…unless you tell us not to when you write. 🙂
