Dear Slicers,
Thank you for the 31 day writing adventure. I appreciate you for showing up every day and writing with me, taking me into your world, and showing me how I can, we, can still do this. Each year I believe it will get easier.
It doesn’t.
What it does, is bring us together to share a bit of ourselves in this big, often perplexing world. Perhaps it isn’t the world that’s perplexing, but the human behaviors that make it so. The world holds us in it. We can choose to make it spin one way or another.
I began year seven with a handwritten Sunday letter, inspired by The Correspondent: A Novel by Virginia Evans. Know what? It feels odd not to write this letter on paper. I suppose the analog life is pulling me back, a little at a time. And that is a good, good, thing.
March did it’s thing and marched right over me this month. Slowing down helped. Writing every day helped. Your stories helped.
Did I read more posts this time as I planned? Nope. Since I’m practicing slowing down, I’ll continue popping in to read posts I missed along with catching up on replying to your comments.
Thank you for your ideas, book recommendations, new knowledge shared, and new connections made. If you’d like to receive a letter in the mail some time as I continue with The Sunday Letter Project, I should be able to see your email address if you comment or reach out. We can exchange addresses via email from there.
Regardless of when we meet again, on Tuesdays, a Sunday, or next March, be well.
Write well. Write often. Write much.
Sincerely,
Alice
P.S. I returned home this evening from my librarian conference with a stack of books. My next book on my TBR pile is The Shippers: A Novel, by Catherine Center. We did a little line dancing yesterday before she signed our books. That sounds like an analog and whimsical spring activity. Line dancing. I’m not good at it, but it was fun!
What are you reading?

Yay to all of this!!! Thanks for helping us slow down and ponder, and occasionally to line dance with an author!! I hope it was a great conference and best wishes until we write again 😁

Inspired by you & other Slicers, I hand wrote for the first time this month, but completely messed up taking the picture! But I have it on the list for a Tuesday, and will bravely try again. This line: “March did it’s thing and marched right over me this month.” – WOW. YES.

I have enjoyed your letters this month. I like how you’ve structured them like she did in the book. I, too, intended on reading more slices than I did. Catching up on that this week. I’m currently readying Beach Read by Emily Henry. Until next time…
