The Healing Power of the Get Well Note, Part 1

March 28, 2011 By Carol

March 28, 2011 I am going for a medical procedure tomorrow.  It is necessary and I will be hospitalized.  Yes, I’m scared and depressed.  Yet, at the same time, I  am buoyed by the supportive kindness of friends.  Cards, notes, calls and emails have arrived to cheer me on.  I printed out Elaine’s e-mail and put it […]

The handwritten letter gets results!

March 22, 2011 By Carol

March 22, 2011 This past weekend I saw the movie: Hereafter, and I was struck by two things… One, there was George, an extremely sensitive man who did not own any “gadgets.” No cellphone, no iPod, no television.  He just had a CD player for his audio-books. Secondly, George writes a letter and gets results! […]

Prayer- a letter to God

March 18, 2011 By Carol

March 18, 2011 Feeling fear, anxiety, hopelessness?  What to do? How about pray? What do you mean you don’t pray? I think we all do, even as we daydream for things to be better. Of course, prayer has more power if it is conscious. God?  Your choice, Higher Power, “the God of Your Understanding.”  One can’t deny […]

A Subscriber’s Recommendation…

March 14, 2011 By Carol

“I first got my own mailbox back in December 1989. It’s still  in that very same post office.  I was searching through something about letter-writing when I came across an article about  “The Letter Exchange.”  I joined up in the early 1990’s.  The Letter Exchange helped me shape up my letter-writing skills.  It introduced me […]

Give your mailbox a face lift

March 7, 2011 By Carol

March 7, 2011 I joined The Letter Exchange last year and placed a listing in their Winter 2011 Magazine.  I requested postcards from pen friends. Well, voila!  My mailbox has become soooo much more interesting!  I am receiving amazing postcards from places like Great Britain, California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and who knows where next. Now I […]

“In Age of Instant Messages, What Can We Save Forever?”

March 1, 2011 By Carol

As I approach a milestone birthday, I find myself reminiscing more often. Perhaps it has to do with the time of year. Having lost my mother and dad a few years ago,the month from Motherʼs Day to Fatherʼs Day has become a somewhat bittersweet, poignant time of year for me. I have always been a […]
