Sunday Candy #24
Handwritten letters are special. In college, my Mom would send them to me, and I always loved getting them (I still have most of them.) I live close enough to her now that letters aren't necessary, but any time she gets me a card for my birthday or any other occasion, she always writes a personal note inside. And it's still one of my favorite things.
Perfect issue, Sandra!
Hey Sandra! I'm feeling really tender after reading this issue of Sunday Candy <3
First of all, your use of complementary colors is on point 🤌
Second, I love that this issue is so visual.
“…I knew I wasn’t just writing letters, I was sending my heart.”
I feel your heart pouring out in your love letter to hand written letters in all 3 sections. Each letter, each stroke of the pen, and each time you scribble a word out, it feels like you’re painting with words 😍
I haven't written a letter in so long, but I do love hand writing in blank celebration cards others. It brings me joy to break out a beautiful hand-pressed card I got from a small local shop, choose a pen with ink that matches the card, and hand write a personal message inside. It does feel like I’m sending my heart 💖 Do you give hand written letters for birthdays/celebrations?
Your poem on your favorite color is beautiful. I also love how you associate it with events and feelings. I want to try this exercise to discover my favorite color, I don’t know anymore!
The lines that resonated with me the most are: “It’s snuggled within the blankets of boisterous laughter” and “It’s in your sometimes I worry if you’ll be okay.” I see bursts of bright rainbow colors in the first line, and some waves of calming blues/greens/purples in the second.
Your ‘Questions Lately’ will be my next journal prompts. I’ve been sitting on questions 1 and 3 for a while. I’ve been thinking of doing a mass unsubscribe on my Substack, and this is a sign to pull the trigger 😬(Sunday Candy is not on my purge list haha)
Thank you for this edition of Sunday Candy <3333333333
PS: Looking forward to painting to this week’s playlist!
