World Letter Writing Day and the Joy of Kindness by Post 1st September is World Letter Writing Day, a celebration of putting pen to paper, slowing down, and connecting through the simple act of writing.

βœ‰οΈ Today is #WorldLetterWritingDay βœ‰οΈ

One of my favourite ways to mark it is through Kindness By Post - sending & receiving handwritten cards with kind messages.

The Autumn exchange opens 4 Sept, more in my new blog πŸ‘‰ katiehrconsulting.co.uk/blog/f/world...
