do you have an elderly relative whose days are long?

the other day, i read an article in the paper about the effects of a long hard winter. it made me think about our elderly relatives who are often isolated and alone, especially in winter.
if you have some, near or far, consider a phone call or a card. i promise you, it will be a greater blessing than you can imagine.
if you are not a person who mails things, but you want them to get something lovely in the mail, i can help.
are they a mailer-of-things? what about a gift-wrapped set of blank cards?
do they like stories? what about a subscription to the story club? i am happy to send the stories via the mail.
do they like dogs? what about a series of postcards from atlas?
do they just need love? what about a love note, anonymous or otherwise, or a reminder that spring will come.
i can also create something special just for them.
why me?
i love real mail. i love the possibility it holds for surprise + delight + connection + love.
i am good at real mail. i am never happier than when i am popping a stack of letters + cards + postcards into the mailbox to wing their way toward people i love.
that’s why so many of my offerings involve the mail.
really want to pop something in the mail yourself, but you just don’t know what to say?
i am writing a list of ideas just for you. it will be finished soon. {edit to say: here is the list! enjoy.}
