It's been such fun getting letters from friends I haven't heard from in quite a while! Many of my friends are people I've worked with over the years, so we have varying perspectives on the newspaper/journalism world.
When my husband and I (along with our young daughter) moved about four hours away from where we'd lived for the previous 20 years, we left behind our network of people who think like us. We enjoy the rural home we've been living in for almost 6 years now, but we often find ourselves isolated when it comes to the things we like to discuss. This letter-writing project has put me back in touch with those people who think like we do, who have the same off-beat sense of humor journalists tend to have, who really know who I am.
It's also fun to find out some of the similar things we've all been doing or thinking about. I guess that's how true friends are!
Why don't you try it? Write a letter today!

Great insight and good idea. I may just try it.
Oh yes...so nice to receive letters in the mail...and you deserve this spinoff...am sure what you're doing is brightening up lots of lives...
Truly a fabulous idea, putting pen to paper & actually writing a letter is becoming a lost art. Thanks so much for sharing your project :0)
