Episode 14: Michal McIntosh - Counting Cards... One Thank You Note at a Time

MAR 19, 202243 MIN

Description

My guest for this episode of the Guest Friends podcast is another long-time friend and neighbor: Michal McIntosh. 

She and her husband Terry have been married for 43 years, have 5 children, and as of last count – because this number seemingly increases by the day – they have 13 grand children (grands).

Michal grew up as a PK (preacher’s kid) and through her Dad’s ministry, spent her teenage and college years living in the Atlanta area with her family. Upon returning to Michigan and marrying Terry, she then took up the calling as a PW (preacher’s wife). When she’s not leading a Bible study, discipling other women, or serving in the church kitchen ministry, Michal can be found joyfully tending to her many grands. She’s also an avid gardener – whether that be growing an army of tomatoes, or beautifying the yard with several varieties of flowers. 

While she’d prefer to operate behind the scenes, Michal was gracious to agree to be interviewed here (as part of returning a favor, and with a tad bit of convincing!). I met up with Michal in her home to discuss her dedicated practice of writing Thank You Notes as a way to express her gratitude and offer encouragement to others. Amongst other insights, Michal shares how a thank you note won her husband over; what simple strategy she uses to combat writer’s block; and where she keeps some of the treasured thank you notes that she’s received over the years.     

The Guest Friends podcast is available on many of the preferred platforms.
