Keep it slow and simple with…little love letters

Words spoken can melt in the air. Written, they live on. What a pure delight to give and receive words of love, affirmation, and care. 

You don’t need fancy stationary or even a stamp to send living words to your beloveds. Slip a postcard under a friend’s door. Fold a heart-shaped slip of paper into a door jamb. Declare your love on post-it notes stuck all around the house. Send a surprise text listing all the ways someone makes you smile. Send a video homage to your bestie or a photo of a special memory.

Little love notes are simple and sincere. They bring joy and help sustain your loves, friendships, and community connections. And if you’re at a loss for words of your own, borrow some from the poets.
