I write 25 love letters in 8 days because they’re rocket fuel for the superhero in me.
I feel strong enough to lift a mountain with my fingertip and bold enough to try.
Love is a beautiful gift. It’s courageous to love deeply and truly, to be vulnerable, to speak your truth.
It’s beautifully brave to love hard, to commit to someone, and to say to that person, “I see you, I love you, and I’m here to stay.”
Writing love letters on paper is a powerful way to show your love.
Anyone can write a text. Anyone can fire off an email, a Facebook message, or a DM.
But writing a love letter on paper that dives deep and hugs the heart of another person? That’s connecting on another level, baby.
When was the last time you wrote a love letter?
When was the last time you let someone in and shared how you were really doing?
When was the last time you said, “Thank you for being here.”?
It doesn’t have to be a big production.
It can be a few lines on a gorgeous postcard.
A quirky note sharing a treasured memory of great big belly laughs.
6 little words: “I love you. I miss you.”
Tiny fan mail: “Thank you for being you.”
You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to say hey and show some love.
You can be kind, warm, and tender, just because.
Make someone’s day.
Write love letters to your best friend, your mastermind buddy, your mentor, your co-worker, or someone whose work and character you deeply admire.
Thank them for their generosity, smarts, and huge hearts.
Thank them for their bold ideas and incredible work ethic.
Thank them for being in your world.
Celebrate their gifts, strengths, and talents, their visions and dreams.
Cheer them on to start now, to show up, to keep going even when they feel like packing up and disappearing because it’s so freaking hard.
Writing love letters isn’t about racking up applause or brownie points. It’s not about keeping score and making them feel like they owe you (eww, icky).
It’s about deepening your relationship.
Being real.
Pouring beauty on the page and creating vivid memories they can hold in their hands.
It’s about love.
So.
Break out the pen and paper.
Make some beautiful memories.
Dare to ride the high of love letters.
