I love handwriting letters to my friends. My bestie and I always send each other handwritten cards and letters for holidays/birthdays. We send each other presents as well but we always love the letters/cards the most. I’ll be ordering Rachel’s book 😍

handwritten birthday cards are so special to save and look back on. they are what i treasure most, more than the material gift, when years pass on! i think you will love rachel's book.

What a great interview! I started exchanging postcards and letters with my students last year when I had to go on medical leave and it has been such a gift. The sentiment that letters always arrive on time— so exquisitely true!! Thanks for putting her new book on my radar :)
