February 20


  • My letters, it seems, have been doing good work as they head out into the world.  Here are a few responses I've gotten in the past few days.

    Wouldn't it be grand if a few of my recipients are, in fact,  inspired to pick up a pen and pass on the love?

    Random Acts of Kindness- Love letters. Pass it on.
    Letter writing has not stayed with the times. We, email, facebook, text, but an old fashioned letter? I received one today from my niece, Amanda Cobes, that made me cry with tears of happiness. Thank you my dear, for taking on this "old-fashioned' communication. It was an art I once had and have placed on the sidelines. Time to revive it. Pass it on- make a person feel wonderful.

    And, an email response to another letter:

     Amanda,

    What a lovely, wonderful note to receive on Valentines Day.  It means a lot to me.  I will keep that note for the rest of my life.

    Thank you,

    John



    Makes staying up late to script a little note seem pretty darn worthwhile, eh?  

    I am glad I am doing this. 

    This week, letters have gone out to two strangers, another high school teacher, and a friend from my church youth group. 

    The month is flying by and there are so many letters waiting to be written... 
    May have to keep this one going throughout the year...
