Handwritten notes and postcards

During this time of isolation, snail mail has taken on new meaning and I've enjoyed having the time to read and respond to handwritten notes and letters. Last week, some of the staff still working in the Consulate in China sent us a package of beautiful handwritten notes and cards encouraging everyone evacuated in D.C from afar. One of the notes read, "There is a Chinese idiom 见字如晤 which means seeing your handwriting is like seeing yourself. I think that is the reason why I really like handwriting postcards so much" and I couldn't agree more. Sean and I like to put the cards we receive on the fridge to brighten up the generic hotel room decor a little bit.

Are you writing to anyone these days?

What I'm listening to:

The Dream podcast - Hosted by an alum of This American Life, this podcast is described as a "vibrant and sustained inquiry into various systems of capitalist exploitations." I am loving their first season of episodes on MLMs.
