There is nothing quite like opening the mailbox and finding, amidst the flyers and bills, an envelope that stands apart from everything else - a handwritten address, a lopsided stamp, and the sense that this is something personal, something special, and something that will make my day.
Do you know this feeling?
I love this feeling and I want to spread this feeling...My husband told me that 80% of post office mail is business-related and that made me a little sad. Email has definitely become a powerful force in the correspondence world. Don't get me wrong - email is awesome and I use it all the time but there is something quite lovely about sitting down, taking some time and writing a letter/a note/an invitation/a thank you/a compliment. (I'm quite happy if this involves tea drinking as well.)
So I've decided that I'm going to send out one thousand paper letters. The kind of mail that makes you do a double-take at the mailbox as you sort through the flyers and bills. The kind of mail that makes you realize that email is great but letters are amazing. The kind of mail that makes you smile. Heartfelt, thoughtful, day brightening mail to mailboxes near and far. I'm not sure how long it will take but I'm excited to see where this journey will take me and maybe where it will take you, as you follow along for the ride.
Let the journey begin...
