Ten years ago, I started this blog with no idea where the journey would lead. Back then, it was just a place to share my writing and my feelings — an outlet when I needed one. I’ve taken breaks here and there, but this space has always been a constant thread in my life.
Last year, I began sharing my letters to my father here. Even then, I never imagined those words would become a book. Every time I thought about writing one, the idea felt too overwhelming. And yet, here I am now — a self-published author, a business owner, and just getting started building from here.
I’ll still post here from time to time, but if you’d like to follow along more closely, you can find me on my Beacons page.

📖 If you’d like to purchase the book:
- It’s available on Amazon (and if you’re a Kindle Unlimited member, you can actually read it for free — and yes, it still helps me!).
- If you prefer to support me personally, you can order directly from me through my Beacons Link.
✨ When you order from me, you’ll also receive extra goodies — stickers, bookmarks, and a personal note from me.
🎧 Other ways to support (for free!):
- Follow me on Spotify (Letters to My Father podcast)
- Subscribe to my YouTube channel (Gingerfunk78)
- Connect with me on social media, where I show up as my true, authentic self.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me — whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found me now. Ten years ago, this was only an outlet. Today, it’s a book, a business, and a community. And this is only the beginning.
💙 With love and gratitude,
Elissa (aka Gingerfunk)
