want to let someone know that they are loved?

March 18, 2013

i was writing out some postcards and it occurred to me that i would love to send out a bunch of postcards letting people know that they are loved. not as myself, in this particular case, but as the instigator, the go-between, the merry-maker.

i want to spread surprise and mystery and delight.

so, i am turning this image into a postcard. for $5, i’ll send one to the person of your choice, letting them know that there is someone out there who is thinking about them and who wants them to know that they are loved.

it’ll make them happy. it’ll make you happy. it’ll make me happy. win-win-win.

here’s how it’ll work:

  1. you’ll click yes, please and complete your payment.
  2. i’ll email you and ask for a name and address.
  3. i’ll send your special someone a postcard.
  4. we’ll all smile.

p.s. i did consider telling them who loves them, but there is something about the mystery that seems like a lovely reminder that we are all loved more than we will ever know. that being said, feel free to tell them yourself.

    This is a beautiful idea. Since it would be weird for you to send these to yourself from me, I’ll just say it…..love you! (there’s your good feelings for the day and you know who sent them!)

  2. you have great ideas!

      Thank you! I really need to just be an idea-generator for people and have everyone else implement them for me. So much more would get done. :)

  3. i love your ideas too.
    it’s late here and I have been meaning to buy some more of your cards to send.
    i’m out! i love snail mail. and sending it.
    and i always get good comments back about yours! they’re so obviously not store bought.
    and they’re all so beautiful! like the one above ~ just joyful light to me.
    in the morning ~ when i’m fresher ~ i will choose my cards. see ya then! xo and nose smooshes to our favorite puppy!

    I want to mail YOU a postcard.
