Send Love Today is a nonprofit organization that provides emotional support to brain tumor patients and their families in the form of cards and small gifts.

What We Leave Behind

Rose over at The Center of My Self recently wrote a great post about the impact we have on people we’ve touched in our lives — what they remember about us, what we teach them, etc. It’s a great and thoughtful post, but as I read on she talked about someone who had left behind letters [...]

As fans of letter writing we love getting mail of any kind — letters, notes, secret messages, postcards. Doesn’t matter! A frequent complaint is that we send a lot of letters out but don’t always get many letters back. Keith and Nancy Stubblefield found an interesting way to get mail. On their excursions around [...]

I ran across this great blog post that has letters to soldiers written by kids. It’s got pictures of the letters and drawings. Really cute! This is a great idea to do if you’re going to send a care package. See if a local school will let you include letters or [...]

I’ve shared stories with you before about people who had been penpals for many, many decades. Here is another one I ran across about two women who have been writing to each other since they were pre-teens and are now in their 70’s. How remarkable! Enjoy! Read: Across the Pond…

Liss over at A Memory Forever is making a new meme or game or pay-it-forward or whatever cool name you want to call it. She’s asking people to become Snail Mail Angels and for them to inspire others to do the same. Who knows what it will turn into, but let’s give her a hand [...]
