Do you or a friend need a handwritten note of encouragement to remind you that you matter?

I've been a writer since I learned how to write. If a piece of paper and a pen were available, I would be writing. All of my mum's shopping lists, to-do lists, and important papers were sure to have something scrawled on them in my messy, childish handwriting.

I've also been a letter-writer for the greater part of my life. There's something so thrilling about receiving something in the mail, in knowing that someone was thinking about you and cared enough to write a letter and post it to you.

At the start of 2023, I embarked on a personal campaign to bring back letter writing in my life. I wanted to make sure I stayed in touch with my younger siblings when I moved away after getting married, and writing letters was perfect! Eventually that campaign expanded as I envisioned writing letters to encourage and bless people who don't regularly receive letters.

Life is hard. It can be so discouraging sometimes. We can feel so lonely, forgotten, and unimportant in our fast-paced culture that barely gives us a passing glance.

Sometimes we feel so small, like our little, ordinary lives can't possibly matter.
