Snail Mail Stories
Because even a simple letter can brighten someone’s day.
Snail Mail Stories started with an act of kindness that inspired me to pay it forward. [In other words, it’s free.💌 ]
Some time back, I had just started a new job, still finding my footing, when I opened my mailbox and found something unexpected—a handwritten letter. Inside was a kind note, some positive affirmation stickers, and a even some stickers for my son. The sender called it happy mail, and she was right.
She sent it to be welcoming. What she couldn’t have known was that the past several months had been personally challenging, and her small gesture made a big difference in a way she never could have imagined.
That letter showed me how powerful a few kind words can be. That’s why I created Snail Mail Stories, to send that kindness forward, one letter at a time.
