I subscribe to a newsletter that frequently has suggested pledges for living a more green lifestyle. They are little things that can make an overall big difference. Last week's pledge was to opt for electronic instead of paper valentines. I strive to live more green. To take care of this earth entrusted to us. But this one? I just couldn't keep this pledge.
It's not that you can't express yourself in electronic form. You absolutely can. You can type the exact same words you would write. But.But...There's just something intimate and personal about giving a card to someone. Writing in your own hand. Sharing your love with the important people in your life. Think about how it feels to get real mail vs the influx of email you get every minute. The message doesn't need to change the world. The message can be simple. It just needs to be heartfelt.
So my encouragement to you is to pledge to give at least one handwritten card to someone this week. Skip this tiny green moment and show them you care and that they are important to you.
