…imagine what a letter to someone could do. “I’m thinking of you.” “I appreciate what you did for me.” “Your kindness made a huge difference in our lives.” “You make me smile.” * It takes a minute to jot down a thought. It stays on the paper forever. It can be prominently displayed or hidden…
http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/1911519 I’m not sure whose typewriter this was, whether it was owned by George Plimpton or Peter Matthiessen (my father’s favorite author) who just passed away last weekend… and originated “The Paris Review” as a cover for working for the CIA… no matter whose fingers touched its keyboard, I loved seeing it featured front &…
From Ellen Levine, my friend who works at Harvard in the “Exponential Fundraising” course I took last year — came a “Trader Joe’s typewriter card”. I thought that was so sweet that I promptly wrote her back…and enclosed a replacement card for her collection. A lot of people rely on Trader Joe’s for their stationery…

Anything with a typewriter on it gives me a thrill. Christy Hale, herself an illustrator of several beautiful children’s books, knows my weakness. (These are some of the covers of her tomes). She sent me these decals — which I’m saving for a special occasion. The cool thing is — I’d just met the creator…
www.astrobetter.com/the-importance-of-thank-you-notes/ One of my goals this year is to be a “TED” speaker about “The Art of Thank You”. I want to see what others say about why ‘thank you’s’ are important. I blundered into this piece so am sharing it with you. Please Share
I like writing to Presidents. It started when I was in first grade, and I sent a scrawled letter to President John F. Kennedy, exhorting him to keep us safe during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He wrote me back — or his staff did — and I kept the piece of stationery for years. (Now…
