  7. How has participating in LetterMo affected your overall perspective on communication?

    A collaborative blog post

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to create this post!

    I would say that letter writing continues to restore my faith in humanity all the time. That complete strangers are seeking connection via the mail, how amazing! Writing always makes me consider how I craft my words and express myself, though I frequently get too caught up in the moment to do anything other […]

    A collaborative blog post

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to create this post!

    I got a beautiful hand sewn postcard from a gal I’d formed an online relationship in 2012. The content on that postcard/is something I cherish today. Every time I start to doubt that I make a difference to the world I just have to glance at that framed postcard. My heart overflows.

    Malika

    I bought a typewriter as a way to shake things up in my letter-writing routine, and that has opened a whole new hobby! I’ve also gotten some fantastic book recommendations from my pen pals. Bonus: when I read the book that they recommended, it makes me that much more excited to write again and tell […]

  11. In what ways do you make your letters reflect your personality and uniqueness?

    A collaborative blog post

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to create this post!

    I search high and low for the weirdest or most unusual stickers and rubber stamps that I can find. I also have a lot of postal themed rubber stamps. When I find a kindred ephemera addict, I insert random paper tokens. But of course my personality shines the most through my […]

  16. How do you write your letters?

    February is just around the corner, and I’m getting ready for LetterMo 2026. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been busy buying stamps so I’ll have enough at home to send all the letters I plan to write without needing daily trips to the post office. I’ve also made sure my letter‑writing supplies are prepared for the fun (and challenge) of writing a letter every day. All this […]

    Did you know there’s a whole day to celebrate handwriting?

    In today’s day and age, that might seem like an anachronism. But those of us who enjoy exchanging handwritten letters understand the charm and sense of connection that handwriting brings. “In 1977, WIMA (Writing Instrument […]

  30. Fun Friday – What Izzit?? Ephemera!

    I’ve heard the term “ephemera” a lot in penpal circles. “Do you like ephemera?” “Where do you find your ephemera?” “Can you send me some ephemera?”

    But, as with many things on the internet, I’m left scratching my head. What, exactly, IS ephemera, and how can I play with it?
