Another National Card + Letter Writing Month, another correspondence challenge!
There’s an undeniable tension in the world and as a stationer and an educator, I’m consistently reflecting on ways to engage in meaningful moments of connection. Through handwritten letters we have an opportunity to slow down and participate in a tangible expression of relationship tending with personal messages on a carefully chosen canvas from one person to another.
The process of thumbing through your card collection until you find one that speaks to your unique connection, penning a personalized message, folding your note in an envelope and sending it off reflects the care and intention we can apply to our relationships. And the receipt is always so sweet.
This National Card + Letter Writing Month, I challenge you to write 5 letters to 5 people in your life. #SendLove to the folks who need to hear from you or those you simply want to offer a light in dark times.
Tonight, I will light a candle, sit down at my letter writing desk, and write my first note of the month. I hope you’ll join me, in the spirit of connection and community.

A. Emme Boyd
