Welcome, friend.

LET’S BUILD Your Quiet LIFE

A softly lit scene with an open Bible, a lit candle, and a ceramic mug on a linen-covered table — evoking quiet faith and morning stillness.

This is a quiet corner of the internet – created just for you.

Here, we slow down. We light candles. We fold laundry with love and read scripture by the window. Through weekly letters, gentle rituals, and soul-filled reflections, we’re creating a life rooted in faith, stillness, and simple beauty.

About Ellie

Rooted in faith. Devoted to stillness. Writing a quieter way forward.

I’m Ellie – a homemaker, writer, and quiet believer in slow, sacred living. I created Letters from A Quiet Life to help women like you find peace in the everyday: in the folding of towels, the lighting of candles, the reading of scripture, and the hush between one moment and the next.

Through weekly letters, simple routines, and gentle encouragement, I share reflections on faith, homemaking, and the beauty of building a quieter life.

And when I’m not writing, I’m pouring candles over at Everwood Lane – my sister brand and story-driven candle shop. Each scent is tied to an original fairytale written to bring a little more warmth and wonder to your home.

Because some homes are lit by more than electricity — they’re lit by intention, prayer, and quiet magic.
