As always, drop a comment, leave a like, or hit reply. I’m wondering, what’s resonating with you this week? What’s on your mind? Don’t be shy. Say hi. Hearing from you makes my day.
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!
