New Year, New Letter Writing Routine

By Julie Dery

Resolutions are so 2020.

But intentions? Now that's the an idea we're ready to get behind in 2021. This year, we're committed to cultivating a culture of authentic, non-digital connection. Why?

For the writer:

It's a good way to self reflect
It promotes mindfulness
It's more unique than an email or text
It's refreshing moment in a world of instant gratification
It's fun

For the reciever:

It makes people happy
It promotes a feeling of belonging
It inspires further letter writing
It's okay for no response needed in follow-up culture
It's something tangible they can keep
It's always fun seeing someone's handwriting in the mix of bills

So how about this. Try writing a letter every week on Friday. Don't worry, we'll remind (or rather inspire) you. Just think, if you write a letter a week, that's 52 by the end of the year. You can do it!
