MEET The Editors

Hello friend

John and Billie Ross are the owners and editors of the blog, Forward Our Mail. Together they have crafted a unique and dynamic semi-nomadic lifestyle where every twelve to eighteen months they determine a new city, region, or town to call home.

Each move presents one-of-a-kind opportunities to meet new people, explore new hobbies, and seek out new experiences. As they learn from their experiences they will inspire you to care for home, care for others, and care for yourself.

caring for yourself
  • Simply love people and make them feel seen – even if it’s just for a moment. Offer tangible gifts of your time and your compassion. And never underestimate the power of your presence.
    Billie Ross, The Simple Art of Caring for Others.
  • There is something intrinsically satisfying about being a homemaker. Seeing progress in your children’s school work, teaching them basic skills like laundry, cooking, and cleaning, being a supportive spouse – all of these things are an enormous blessing to the family. 
    Billie Ross, Confessions of a Happy homemaker.
  • In order for hope to flourish, we have to let perfectionism die. There’s not room for both. They cannot co-exist side by side. One is in direct contrast with the other.

  • A trip to England and a box of second-hand china together weaved a pathway into my heart that I can’t unwind. Together, they taught me that being alive is a special occasion.
