Hey lovelies. Thanks for your comments on my travel journal and any suggestions you left. If you have anymore let me know.
Lately, I've been thinking about holding a letter writing social. Basically a group of people get together and write whatever letters you have in your pile. I got the idea from Letter Writers Alliance. You can share stationery and other writing implements. I see they sometimes have a few typewriters available too.
My other idea is, letters could be written to people who need a little smile brought to their face. The World Needs more Love Letters is a community of people who write positive letters to strangers. Either by writing letters and leaving them in places for people to pick up or to send a bundle to someone who needs to be uplifted. It's such a great idea. I'm thinking of signing up to receive requests to write a love letter.
So I was thinking I could combine this with a letter writing social. We could write letters to our own pen pals, friends and family but also write a few for those strangers that need a little happiness.
I'm thinking of holding one in Brisbane sometime in future. Any Brisbanites that would be interested? What I love about handwritten letters is the time, effort and heart that goes into it. It's amazing how good it feels to see a letter in the postbox after a long day, knowing that this person took time to write about their lives, or to answer questions or to lift your spirits.
Has anyone ever attended a letter writing social? Remember any Brisbane peeps to let me know if you are interested at all.
Have a lovely weekend.

Wow, what a wonderful idea!
I would come if I could! ;) Since you've been talking about this, I'm definitely tempted to host one myself - I have a couple friends that write letters, and maybe others could be enticed to join if I offer cake :P
