one year anniversary

A year ago I sat next to him spilling my heart out

I want to connect with people, I want to do something that will bring others together

I want to create a community, see people smile

I had no idea what this looked like, but he sat there and listened

I bounced ideas off of him

My love for writing, receiving real mail, my collection of postcards from every place I travel

Slowly it all wove itself into a project

Strangers coming together to send mail to one another

Real mail, you know the kind that actually travels through the post office

Individuals showing up with pen in hand and spilling their heart on the page

And then sharing these words with someone they may not know

Connections blooming from a simple post card

I knew I wanted to make it easy

Something any one could do

And with all that the Love notes Post Card Project was born

A year ago I launched the very first round and had no idea what to expect

Would people sign up?

Would this actually work?

My goodness I was blown away

People did actually sign up, from all over the world in fact

My heart burst open

It has been such a pleasure to host this project

To watch it unfold and evolve

And to see the connections and friendships that have formed

I am grateful for each individual who has taken the leap and been a part of it

Who so willingly put their heart on the paper and shared it with the world

It is a true blessing

The world could always use more sunshine and smiles

And together we are doing that

One post card at a time
