So how did it go my lovelies? Did you send a thank you note out to someone? What did you notice?

Egads! I totally thought I responded to you and gave all sorts of lovin’ to your added details here. Must have been writing itself in my mind…

It’s so cool to hear about how you took the idea and went with it and your experience of it. Thank you so much for sharing. You are the awesome. xo

Hi Mona,

I’m so glad you loved the book as much as I hoped you would.

As you know, I started this a couple weeks ago and thought I would share a few things I’ve learned so far.

1) While I type the cards ahead of time to be clear in what I’ll say, I approach the writing and addressing of the envelope as a meditation/prayer.

2) By being so open with people about how much I appreciate them I am allowing myself to be more vulnerable.

3) It really is the thought that counts. If one sentence is all it takes, that’s fine. The card I wrote to the night nurses at the hospital for my post-surgery overnight simply read: “A big thank you for managing my post-op recovery in a way that keep me out of pain and improving every hour.”

4) Decorating the envelopes can be the most fun part. I never thought I’d have a selection of USPS stamps and I love putting stars around the person’s name.

I love your adaptation of it Christine…a thank you card a week is very reasonable for most anyone’s lifestyle and I think it’s great that you’re gonna go for it!

Awesome, Sarita! Does sendoutcards help you send cards that you’ve written with your own (nicely manicured) hands and colorful Stabilo marker pens?

This is such a WONDERFUL idea, Mona! I’m in and would love to take it even further to do 1 (or more) a week for the next year. I’m a huge advocate for paying it forward and this is right up my ally!

Thank you, I just read a synopsis of the book. The picture alone on the cover tells such a huge story. I will definitely make a purchase. Right on time!
