Write A Letter

This is another example of Life’s Golden Rule’s Daily Lessons. Read it and apply it!

The book, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place by Terry Tempest Williams is like a journal in that it shares a story and ads personal insight. It can be considered a story about her mother and her battle with cancer. In the book, her mother writes a heartfelt letter, sending sympathy and empathy to a friend that had just had a brain tumor operation. Terry then writes about the power of letters:

“The physical contact of pen to paper, the time set aside to focus thoughts, the folding of the paper into the envelope, licking it closed, addressing it, a chosen stamp, and then the release of the letter to the mailbox–are all acts of tenderness.

And it doesn’t stop there. Our correspondences have wings–paper birds that fly from my house to yours–flocks of ideas crisscrossing the country. Once opened, a connection is made. We are not alone in the world.”

Our challenge to you today is to take time this week to write a letter to a friend. You never know who needs the message that they are not alone.

Thanks for reading. Have a phenomenal one today :)
