If you are new to my daily blog, at the end of today’s blog, is a listing of previous posts from this day for 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Upcoming USPS Peace Rose Forever Stamp
In the Postal Bulletin last week, it is showing the Upcoming USPS Peace Rose Forever Stamp. Beginning on April 21, 2018, it is being made available in a double-sided booklet of 20 stamps.

As we wrap up, for those of us writing letters during Lent, today finds us during Week Five out of six weeks during Lent, leading up to Easter. It is a delight to share I was able to make two of the five Lenten Lunches this year; today was the last one and it was inspiring to hear about serving with passion, boldness, and joy when giving.
Thank you for joining me today. See you tomorrow with my Wednesday blog post!
