From a note passed to your junior high school BFF to the annual holiday update from far-flung relatives to correspondence between long distance lovers, there’s something special about handwritten letters.
It takes time to compose a heartfelt message, and that in and of itself is meaningful. Not only are the words important, there are lots of avenues for being creative with how you present your letter. A spritz of perfume, a pressed flower or wallet sized photograph, your choice of stationary, and your unique handwriting make each letter you send special. So, if you haven’t sent a letter in a while, now’s a great time to reach out and connect with someone you care about.
Be Candid
Let’s assume you’re writing to someone you really miss – no passive aggressive letters here – that’s another topic!
