Power Positivity: Energize Snail Mail to Brighten Someone's Day!

In today's world where it's easier to send a text or an email, I bet it's been a while since you received a handwritten note in your mailbox that wasn't an annual holiday card.

Take a minute and think about it...

When was the last time you received a letter or postcard  that wasn't a bill or piece of junk mail?   

...and when you received it, didn't seeing it and reading it brighten your day, make you smile and warm your heart?

Sending a handwritten note is simple way to power positive energy! 

Earlier this week, I received a postcard with a picture of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg from my brother who's currently in Germany, with the following note: 

Dear Nat, 
This is Hamburg's Philaharmonic hall. It's right on the harbor and the architecture is based on the lapping waves. 
Love J.R.

A message I found to be incredibly thoughtful because J.R. knows how much I love the water and the sound waves lapping the shoreline.  With a short simple note, that probably took him less than a minute to write, he definitely send some extra sunshine to brighten my day!

It's often the simplest gestures to let the people in our lives know we're thinking of them that matter most

I love sending out handwritten notes to friends, family members and clients, both "just because" and as a "Thank-you."  It's not uncommon for me to buy a stack of fun notecards when I come across them - even if I immediately don't know who I'll be sending them to, because I trust one day it will be the perfect message to share a little joy with someone.

The beautiful and playful cards from Curly Girl Design, Paper Source, or 
Papyrus are known to be some of my favorites.

​Recently my friend, Holly introduced me Lea Redmond's joyful "Letters to.." collection of notes with fun prompts, stickers, and post dates for future opening, including Letters for a Year of Gratitude and Letters for the Year. 

If all it takes is small investment in single stamp and a little of your time to send a smile with snail mail:​

Why not make a positively powered difference?
