[For now, Frayed Edges is the only part of my website in English. If you would like to work with me, please feel free to reach out.]
A monthly reminder
of the beauty and the frayed edges of our existence.
Every month, a letter and a poem on your doormat, written, made, and sent from the heart.
And you can feel that. A letter you don’t read in passing, but one you sit down for.
With words that feel both personal and universal.
Words that touch your humanness and at the same time awaken something deeper within you, on a layer you may not visit very often.
Who would like to receive a letter from me?
That question was where it all began. More than a hundred responses followed. Personal, vulnerable messages in my inbox.
Sometimes people shared a word, sometimes a sentence, sometimes a whole story. I wrote to people I didn’t know and found parts of myself in the letters, and parts of all of us.
And perhaps that is the greatest healing there is: recognising ourselves in the other.
The letters reminded me of this: our entire human experience is deeply personal, and at the same time universal.
And now there is a monthly letter and reminder for all of us. A letter that is universal but also feels personal.
Not an ordinary letter
These are attuned letters, written for those who receive them.
With my pen I connect to something wiser and larger, without losing contact with our humanness. And with the frayed edges of ourselves and of life. All the words I share, I also write for myself. They are like a wiser friend who walks alongside me.
Beautiful to receive for yourself, or to give as a gift to someone who might appreciate a little extra attention.
The first letter will be sent around January 15, 2026. If you join from January, you will receive the first letter as a gift. Use the code JAN2026.
The contribution is €6.50 per month, including postage. And if you join from the start, you will never pay more.You are free to stop at any time.
What you receive (or give as a gift)
Every month on your doormat:
-
a letter on beautiful sustainable paper that you’ll want to keep, with words that move something within you
-
a poem, also sustainably and thoughtfully printed, to hold on to, or perhaps to give as a gift
-
in addition, each month I write one personal letter, attuned to one of the readers
The contribution
€6.50 per month, including postage. The January letter is a gift. Use the code JAN2026

This is the starting price. The project will continue to evolve, and the contribution will most likely change in the future. Those who join from the beginning take a special place within this project.
If you join from January, you will pay €6.50 for as long as you take part. You can stop at any time.

Let’s weave a web of letters together.
they received a personal letter
Manon has the gift of writing in layers. It is more than information; these are words that stay with you.
The letter and the poem stayed with me. I kept rereading them, again and again. What I received was not a one-time moment, but something that continued to unfold slowly.
The words invited me to look differently, stirred emotions, and brought a deep sense of kinship. As if I didn’t have to carry my own challenges alone, but together with a writing companion. I carry these words with me as a comforting echo.
With love, a deeply moved woman
N.
What an incredibly beautiful, loving, and meaningful letter!
Thank you so, so much for that, for the text and for the paper!
D.
Thank you, Manon, for your piercing, powerful, and gentle words. Goosebumps.
You bring something beautiful into the world, and I feel seen.
R.
What a beautiful letter.
I don’t quite know what to say about it yet. You touched exactly the essence of what it needed to be about, and I couldn’t do anything but let the emotions flow.
