I've wanted to do a letter writing project for quite sometime now, but there was always never enough time & I never quite felt "inspired" enough. Until last week. I was thinking about this past year (as we all do when Christmas sneaks up on us so freaking quickly..) & how much my "soul" (for want of a better word) has changed. I made a conscious decision in March this year to fill my heart and life with so much positivity & passion & light - that there was no room for anything else. I made an effort to think only good things on Monday mornings, when work got really tough I smiled, I avoided gossip as much as possible and I read & wrote only good things. Such Simple things that have had such a huge impact. && now I'd like to share that with you.

"&& A Happy New Year" will be a Letter exchange project which celebrates all that is good & light & happy. A Project stuffed full of so much joy, that is won't be possible to have a crappy start to 2014. And that's where you come in.

When you Sign-up to the "&& A Happy New Year" Project you'll be assigned a Partner. There will be 2 Tasks for you to complete over the next couple of Months (December - January). Each Task will involve Mailing a Small Letter(ish) Sized Package to your Partner. I'm not going to tell you all the Tasks now (Why Ruin the Surprise?) But I will tell you they'll be good for your soul. Honestly I've found that writing good, beautiful things to someone else - can be as healing as receiving them.

  1. Will you have any kind of rolling sign up for those who can't start straight away? The first and second task (sounds like the Triwizards Tournament hehe) clash with my Christmas hols :-( But I would love to take part a later day.
