Closing down

Hello all, it is with a mixture of reluctance and relief that I have decided to stop this project. Realistically, I just don't have the time and proper head space required to keep this up. However, since I have only received a 50% response to the letters I sent out, I don't feel to badly about this.

For those who showed an interest and even took part for awhile, thank you.

I know, I know, this is taking longer than I thought it would

I can't believe that 5 months into this project, I've only sent out 10 letters. The thing is, sitting down and writing a good letter, a truly good letter that comes from a truthful place, a personal place, takes more than just time, it takes an active commitment to allow yourself to be in that space that isn't superficial and just wanting to get the task over with so it can feel like you've done something. It also takes knowing that the person you write to, the person you make the time and commitment to share something of yourself with, may not even write back (I've had responses to about half the letters I've written). So, it also takes letting go. And I am struggling with that too.

But, I ain't giving up. As long as it takes, I am gonna get these 100 letters, good letters, honest, truthful letters, written.
