Pen and Ink

So I was having this facebook chat with my dad, which...
Thanks God for facebook. I love that I can talk to my dad, and the rest of my family on there. as I was saying...
I was talking with my dad, and we got to talking about how getting mail is so personal. My mom sent me a package, and more then what was inside, I loved seeing her handwriting on top. I could see her with a pen in her hand, and piece of paper in the other, copying my street address down of my home here in India. It meant so much. I actually was going to take the sticker off the top, and keep it in my travel journal, but realized I could keep the box with me instead.

That's when it hit me, Facebook makes staying in contact so easy, but it's not as personal as seeing someone's handwriting. In that very moment, I thought..." Everyone of us has our own hand writing..." Its like our finger prints. So in a way my handwriting is a part of me. No one else in the whole world writes like me ( or you )!!

So for me to send someone a letter, is to send them a little piece of myself, that traveled across the sea to them! How sweet is that xo I want to be a bit more personal then only blogging. I just need to get myself a little address book, and bring it with me whenever I travel. Then I can send you all little post cards and such! what ya think?

I guess I'll have to get in contact with you guys, and then keep a record of your address's, and then surprise you with a little bit of me, on a random day wherever you may be.

So with that, I wish I could sign my name at the end of this post, but instead I will leave you with a Bloggers signature...
Loving your love,
Laura


P.S. This blog was inspired by my wonderful father. He gave me the thought about how truly important it is to be personal with the people you love, and show them you care.
