And We're Live!

BLOG POST IS UPPPPPPP!  Everyone, get ready to paaarrrtayyyyyy! One of my dreams is actually coming true.  I am so excited to share this journey with everyone and hope the blog and the project help other people the way it helps me! 

Life can sometimes have the tendency to get people down and I don't always know how to make it better. But wait!  I know what helps me!  Postcards and SNAILMAIL!  There's just something about finding a piece of cardstock in the mailbox decorated and written just for you.  It may have traveled 2 miles, or it may have traveled over 6,000 miles, but either way, it found it's way to you.  Now just take a moment to revel in that fact.  Something happy just for you.  Maybe your day was kind of yucky? Ran into someone you didn't want too, had a horrid day at work, the traffic was wretched, that sort of thing.  I get it.  The day sucks. That's ok.  That fabulous little piece of battered and written on paper will brighten your day, if even by just a little bit.  That's the feeling I want to spread and share with the rest of the world. Albeit, i can't do it physically, bu I hope posts on here can assist.

I have had so many ideas and visions of how this would come to flourition and how it would work out , the postcards I would receive for the blog.  Now, this is where I need your help!  I have always been enthralled by quotes, pieces of advice, books people are reading, and the like.  What makes me even happier is having those snippets coming in from friends and family and people from around the world.  One way to get some perspective on your life is to get some from someone else's life.  I'd love to swap postcards or send my blank, addressed postcards for you guys to send back with your tidbits of what makes you happy.  

I am  so excited for this project to get up and running.  There are so many great things happening and in the works that I can barely keep my mouth shut!  I hope this will take off running, but it might be a little sluggish for the first few steps. I have been busy getting some postcards coming this way so I would be able to get some posts up, but after that, it's up to those who have something to share!

I am so excited to run down the gangplank and jump onto the ship of postcards and blogging, and I hope you guys will be here to join me. The trip is going to be one of misadventures, surprises, and happy words, but I can't wait.  Sit down, buckle up, and enjoy the ride. :)
