Art Cards

   Although sending personal letters might be considered a lost art it can be a gift with broad possibilities. This creative act can help to address and heal the disconnect or emptiness we sometimes feel  in our relationships. It is my experience that we are hungry to invest in each other’s lives for nourishment and  for our spiritual well-being. Human bonds are an essential aspect of our human experience. The written word in a letter can express our thoughts, feelings, needs and desires more powerfully than the spoken word, face to face. It is a safe place to share our vulnerabilities. 

   Also, sending a letter in an art card can invite an aesthetic experience – a genuine gift of beauty. Expressing oneself personally and openly in these fine art designs can help to touch upon sentiments of the human heart including love, joy, sorrow, gratitude, passion, and even humor. 

   Those things we share in this manner, I believe, can help to create the bonds we seek. Although letter-writing can be seen as a lost art, renewing this vital form of expression can only build  and nourish our lives with each other.
