Read MoreMy New Bullet Journal
A few years ago I tried bullet journaling. It didn’t last long. I liked it but hadn’t invested the time and effort fully engage with the process. Part of the problem may have been the spiral-bound, hardcover notebook I was using. It was plain, uninspiring and had a hodgepodge of lists and other remnants of…
Read MoreApril is Letter Writing Month
Each month celebrates and promotes something. In April one of the somethings is Letter Writing. Unlike InCoWriMo in February where you’re encouraged to send a piece a mail each day, the more leisurely letter-writing month of April allows you to go at your own pace. Truth be told, I don’t need a celebration or holiday…

Last week one of the pieces mailed was this postcard. Granted,…

Read MorePostcards for Kindergarten Class
A kindergarten teacher in Minnesota is trying to get 100 postcards from all over the US by Feb 19. She shares, “We are putting our postcards up around a United States map and marking on the map where each came from. It’s a pretty cool display! It could be so much better if we could…

Success is mine! I wrote one fan letter and one regular letter and got them sent off in today’s mail. Day 1 of InCoWriMo is off to a good start. I’ve created a list of people to write to every day this month including pen pals, relatives, friends, famous people and a few influencers. I…
