Hey Ya'll:
Here we are, down to the holiday wire. The posts prior to this one were packed with gift ideas for all of your people. Hopefully some inspiration was found! If so, will you let me know?This year, I am launching a personal tradition. In mulling over creative and unique gifts, my thoughts evolved from thinking about what to get my people to thinking about my people in general. I landed in a place of gratitude, and I resolved to take the time to immortalize my sentiments in a letter to each of them.
Apparently there is nothing remotely original in this urge: in fact, this lady has created an entire business around the idea of Leaving Nothing Unsaid. One can delve deep, but in the spirit of brevity, below are her guidelines for writing a letter to a loved one:
So, I am sitting down to do this - nothing fancy. I'm not looking to inspire the kleenex to come out: I just want my dad to know that I appreciate the fact that he always picks up the phone when I call, even though he must know that we have clogged the plumbing or need last minute babysitting. I want my little brother to know how amazed I am watching him father his little daughters. I want my mom to know that I admire her bravado: ending one 30 year career only to launch another. At age 63.
They should know, right?
Happy & Merry,
Nina
You rock, Sis.
