“I really love writing letters. I couldn’t write a scholarly essay in college worth reading but I LOVE personal letters. An item on my list this year is to communicate compliments or positive thoughts to people as they cross my mind. I want to send letters of affirmation to friends, or post cards to acquaintences just to say, “I really enjoy your blog” or, “You are super easy to talk to and I like it.” Same goes for my husband, to remind him how I appreciate how he always make me laugh, or a note to my family. We’ll call them love letters, and I plan on roping Hugh into this because I think men are even more hesitant to compliment each other. I started by writing a letter to Jennie, a woman in the food blogging world who lost her husband suddenly earlier this year (you may remember or participated in “A Pie for Mikey”). I thought of her recently and wanted to write her a letter. Maybe it’s weird, because we don’t know each other, but I am another woman who can’t imagine coping with that kind of loss, so I figured I’d say hi.”
