Came across the loveliest little exchange that I happened upon *just* in time. A few times each year, Jennifer Belthoff hosts Love Notes. It’s a postcard exchange between strangers. Just put a kind, thoughtful word in the mail each week for the person you’re matched with. I loved the energy and the joy of such exchanges.
But then I started thinking. I’m writing and sending cards to someone I don’t know (Hi, Fran!). But could I send cards to people I do know? Why not send a card each week to a faraway friend, a mentor whose work has inspired me, or even my little brothers? Why not!
And since we’re right here at the cusp of my new year, I could send cards for a full circle of the sun. When I hit 44, I’ll have made a few more connections and hopefully created a spot of joy for other people.
The next round of Love Notes starts in October. But would you like a card before then? Just drop me a line at kortneymgarrison {at} gmail.com with a mailing address and I will add you to the list!
I ♥ postcards!
I will put you at the top of the list, S! Is your address the same? Granny Smith Lane?
