Oh, how we need this book by Elizabeth Cottrell. To connect with heartfelt words, “in person,” so to speak (by what some call “snail mail)” is imperative in this day and age. Cottrell gives us eight fabulous reasons and examples (Chapters I to VIII) of why snail mail isn’t slow or cumbersome, but the opposite. Personal written cards and letters connect us to each other in so many important ways. Cottrell does an amazing job detailing those ways in which we can share heart and soul in our handwritten notes. Me? One of my dresser drawers is full of notes and cards I’ve received and saved over the years. Proof of how meaningful a personal note/card/letter can be. Cottrell’s book is a great gift to yourself and to others who appreciate the power of heartspoken mail.
