  5. Wow…..I haven’t sent a hand-written letter in a very long time. I think today’s society has become too used to the instant-gratification of email and social media.

  6. Sadly, I cannot remember.
    But, last month I recieved a surprise package, including a hand written letter, from Artist (author / painter) Jackie Morris.
    In less than a week I came home to a special package from her.
    My hands were shaking. I felt her energy, her soul.
    After years of communicating with her strictly online, that gesture reminded me of the long lost art of hand written letters, and it’s magic.
    I was deeply touched.

    2. And handwriting reminds me of:

      “To me, poetry is somebody standing up, so to speak, and saying, with as little concealment as possible, what it is for him or her to be on earth at this moment.

  7. David: I send at least one postcard/letter every day! When my mother was ill with cancer, over 23 years ago, a friend sent her an occasional funny note. Mom was so moved by these little snippets of news, it inspired my Postcard Project. I started the week after my mother died, Father’s Day 1994. I haven’t missed a postal service day. For 21 days in a row, someone who needs cheering up (whether they lost someone, are suffering from an illness, were let go from a job, or some such tragedy) receives a handwritten note of inspiration (sometimes from your post even!) or a titillating ditty. On occasion, I hear from the recipient but mostly I never know how they’re received. I just believe, whomever reads ’em, understands that someone “out there” is thinking of them today!

    Thanks for letting me share! Paula

  11. Sent out three notes yesterday, as a matter of fact. Love writing them, love receiving them. But Paula, wow, she’s a rock star! LOVE her energy and commitment. Don’t know that I can do one a day, but I’m going to try one a week. ☺️
