The small envelope gave no hint of the impact the notecard inside. Noticing I was going through a rough time while on deadline, one of my author friends reached out to encourage me. It’s such a small thing to lift someone else, and yet it requires a great deal. It requires the ability to look beyond your own little world into another person’s reality. Taking time to send a card or letter can be a challenge in a busy schedule. It’s much easier to send a gif on Facebook or dash off an email than to bother with a written note. In this digital age, the a handwritten letter means so much more. However, you reach out, there’s no substitute for you.
