Gratitude in the Darkness: The Letters of Helen Keller

What does it mean to focus on what you have, even when so much has been taken from you?

In this episode of One Sealed Letter, we step into the world of Helen Keller through her personal letters, read aloud in full. From her joyful discovery of language as a child to her awe at Niagara Falls and the World’s Fair, to her reflections as a young woman on love, purpose, and what truly matters, Helen’s voice radiates presence, wonder, and grace.

Through these letters, we explore:

• The beauty of small, daily joys

• What it means to live with deep gratitude

• How to choose what’s worth your time and energy—especially with the question: Will this matter in five years?

This episode is both a reading and a reflection, an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and live from a place of appreciation. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed or in need of a reset.
