In a time when we can feel so disconnected and overwhelmed, could sending a few handwritten words create a much-needed feeling of connection?
Could the tangible quality of receiving these words on paper spread joy and reinforce bonds, making us feel more resilient and happy?
I’d like to find out.
And to find out, I’m going to give away notes.
I will send you three notes with stamps and I’d like you to send these to three people. Write a few lines, or even a few words.
What have you left unsaid? Is there someone you miss?
Did someone show you a kindness? Have you told that friend how brilliant they are?
Then, if these three people would like to take part, I’ll send notes to them, and so on. My aim is connect as many people as possible and in turn, create deep connections that I hope will better equip us to manage our modern, strife-filled world.
If you’d like to take part, just pop your details in the box below.
Let’s get writing.
BACKSTORY
I first ran this project in 2023 in response to the aftermath of Covid and the start of the Ukraine war. It really resonated with people and the response was wonderful but overwhelming and unsustainable as a one-woman studio.
I wanted to run it again in a way I could manage because, unfortunately, the world hasn’t improved. We need joy and connection more than ever — to create a community that sustains us in this turbulent world — and a few handwritten words are a way to connect that can be kept, read again if needed: tangible in a digital world.
