Love Letters

Remember Snail Mail?  That stuff that used to come with your name written in cursive on the front, and contained a message inside written by a friend, a mom, or some other actual person?

Snail Mail is one of the loves of my life and last February I spent a whole month writing a letter a day to friends and family.  I loved the writing, and a couple people I love even wrote back expressing their appreciation for the fact that I sat down and thought about them for an hour while I wrote them a letter.

It was cool, and I'll do it again.

After the month of letter writing, I signed up to get addresses to send post cards at Postcrossings.  This is fun, and the messages are short, and are from all over the world.

But the real impetus for posting today about letter writing was to share this link with you.

Take a couple minutes to watch Hannah share her story, and then take twenty minutes to write a real letter, with a stamp, and envelope----the whole magilla, and send it off, sealed with a kiss.  Somebody will love you for it.  I promise!
