I buy greeting cards throughout the year, sometimes for specific people and other times cards I like that eventually find their way to people in my life; sometimes people who aren’t in my life when I bought them years prior.

I was searching for a Valentine’s Day card last night for someone and nothing was speaking to me. I ended up making one with my collection of hundreds of Sharpie pens and a kiss of glitter (don’t judge, I know I need help 😁) But that is not the important part of this story, it’s only the establishing shot.

I had tucked your tiny note and stickers in with my card library you sent last September. I sometimes do that when I get a feeling that cards I receive from other people will eventually inspire me for ideas, even though I don’t know when or how. I found your envelope (with the stickers I’ve been tearing my studio apart to find BTW 😁) and your note, along with the carefully addressed envelope. It gave me the inspiration I needed for the message inside the card.

I was reminded that our touch never really goes away, that we should default to kindness and that we’re all more interconnected than we think.

I love the idea of making life with your self more romantic, and your list of little actions you take to show yourself love really resonated with me :)
