Hannah Brencher's family always wrote letters to each other, yes letters, with a pen, on paper, and using stamps, and envelopes, posted them, yes, to each other.And these letters would arrive at the delighted recipients mail box.
Hannah started writing letters as a kind of therapy when at university. She'd write love letters and leave them for strangers to find.
Then, in the course of a year she wrote and mailed out over 400 hand penned letters.
Her random acts of love and kindness soon turned into a global initiative.
This lovely lady who also writes a blog. She believes in the power of the pen on paper and has started The World Needs More Love Letters which simply encourages strangers to exchange love letters.
I found Hannah on TED. You can too...
What a lovely idea. I can't remember when I last received a love letter.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't want to receive something as lovely as that? Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to my Letter of Love!
ReplyDeleteA woman after my own heart said the postal services of the world. Letters have a unique way of conveying thought, they are considered, very private, and a great way to order your mind in a strange sort of way. I guess in today's world they could be called therapy.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I have written many Love letters and short love stories with in a love story. But to send to strangers would be scary. ???
