No matter where we are, there is something exciting about receiving mail: knowing that someone is thinking about you and took the extra time to show you. This is especially true when away from home and ESPECIALLY true when living in another country. Anyone who has lived abroad knows that an entire week can be made by receiving a card, letter, or package. This being said, you can imagine how incredibly excited I was to hear that a letter had arrived for me: Ooooo a letter! (insert Homer Simpson donought voice) Unfortunately all my excitement was burst when I saw that the letter was sent by none other than my travel insurance company to solicit my renewal for the upcoming year... say what? No letter... man, what a tease!

Since I have gotten back to Honduras, I have created what I affectionately call my ¨wall of home.¨ The letter tease fiasco got me thinking that it would be really nice to see more letters on my wall of home. I know that I have absolutely NO RIGHT to complain as I have yet to send a single piece of mail - yikes!

So! I am starting a mail campaign! If I have your address, I will write to you! If I don´t have your address, leave a comment or send me your address, and I will write to you! My hope is that after seeing my amaaaazing mail, you will be inspired to write back! And if not.... at least you got some cool, international mail out of it :)
If you feel like getting a head start, you can write me here at the address on the sidebar. I´d love to receive notes, letters, pictures, and any other goodies you´d like to send. If you are so inclined to put together a package *brownie points will be awarded* I´d love trail mix and any new music or mix cds that you´d like to send. Packages are much less expensive for you and me if you use padded envelopes instead of boxes.
***Thanks all for the great emails, phone dates, and f.b. comments and messages as well!
9 Letters written, lots of postcards and letters to go!
