I think it’s rare for us to receive personal letters and cards in the mail outside of holidays, but early this week, I got two in one day! One was from a long-time friend who regularly writes like this, and she always gives me joy. The other was a kind affirmation from a colleague I appreciate and admire. It was such a wonderful surprise.
My point in sharing this is that if you have something meaningful to share with someone — a story, an affirmation, an invitation, a kind word, a joke, a vulnerability, or a memory — do it. I don’t think we ever regret that connection.
