Here it is—and here’s what’s next! Did you guess from the coloring page what was coming?
✨ Introducing The Anchor Angel Project! ✨
At The Kedge Anchor, we’re all about encouragement—and that’s exactly what the Anchor Angel Project is here to do. It’s a simple but powerful way to share hope and kindness with people walking through hard seasons of life.
The idea was born from a moment with a dear friend who was going through a very dark time. I sent her a small note of encouragement, just a heartfelt gesture. She later told me I was her “anchor angel.” That phrase stayed with me—and soon, ideas began to flow. What if more people could experience that same kind of uplifting encouragement?
This past Valentine’s Day, I partnered with my church in New England to bring that vision to life. Church members and school children joined together to create handmade cards for the residents at the nursing home where my mom once lived. Honestly, I’m not sure who was more blessed: the ones receiving or the ones giving.
And here’s how you can be a part of it. Watch my YouTube video for all the details
The image and card are for personal use and for this project, not for selling.
Print on card stock, 270 GSM or 90lb for the card. To print the sentiment on the inside, be sure the card is oriented to how your printer prints. Test on plain paper to check where the image prints and place the paper back in the printer so that the sentiment prints on the correct side and right side up. All printers print differently so check your user manual.
The 5×7 envelope will take up every inch of an 11×8.5 sheet of paper. Legal size would be best, but it will still work with letter size 11×8.5. You may want to use slighter thicker paper other than printer paper for the envelope.
Today I’m only revealing half what’s to come!
Stay tuned, there’s more to come!

The Kedge Anchor - Anchored in Hope

The Kedge Anchor - About
Welcome to the Kedge Anchor. This blog started from a time in my life where I no longer liked changes. Changes, like the waves in the ocean can turn us upside down sometimes and the currents of this life can take us to places we really didn’t intend to go. But changes are a part of life and the older I get the less I like them. Maybe you can relate. Sometimes storms form over the ocean and totally churn up our lives like the ocean floor. And when all is finally over, we feel depleted, drained, exhausted. Turning to God’s word first is always a good place to start and gain footing again. And sometimes God leads us to other sources for encouragement, family, friends, church family, and oddly enough, for me, back to the still calm waters (of the ocean).
Kedging is a nautical term “to draw (a vessel) along by hauling in on the cable of a light anchor that has been dropped at some distance from it, or (of a vessel) to be drawn in this fashion “ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/kedging Kedging is done in calm waters when one needs the boat to move forward or in the case when one is going against the wind. The sailor casts the kedge anchor out in the waters and pulls the boat towards the anchor.
In a season of wait, when we feel like we are at a stand still and perhaps we aren’t hearing God’s voice or when we are in the middle of the storm, we can draw to Him. (James 4:8) We can cast our anchor (of hope) out and take a step in faith toward God, read the Bible, recall a favorite verse, and cling to HIs words. He is our anchor for our soul (Heb. 6:19). When the storms and currents of life are changing our course and we find ourselves going against the wind, we can remain steadfast in His Word and love.
Be encouraged. You are not alone.
“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you…” James 4:8
