Welcome to this enchanting miniseries of ABGW, where we embark on a gentle journey through the beautifully messy world of being human. Join me, Cheryl, as we slow down and remind our nervous systems that peace isn't merely a prize to be won, but a practice to be embraced. In this episode, we delve into the lost art of handwritten communication and the profound connections it can foster in our fast-paced lives.
Have you ever wondered why people no longer write letters? Everything seems to be typed, filtered, and polished to perfection. As I sit with my trusty fountain pen—albeit one that leaks like a toddler with a juice box—I reflect on the grounding nature of writing. The act of putting pen to paper slows the world around us, allowing for more profound thought and connection.
In a society that glorifies speed and efficiency, taking the time to write by hand feels almost revolutionary. It’s an intimate act, a small rebellion against the relentless digital tide. When we choose simplicity and make space for meaning, we discover a shift in our breath and a fading of the noise that distracts us from ourselves.
Perhaps, instead of seeking more communication, we should strive for a deeper connection. We’ve all been there—caught in the whirlwind of multitasking and productivity. But it’s the simple acts of writing, listening, and noticing that tether us back to our true selves. It’s perfectly okay not to be productive every second; it’s time to stop chasing fast and start choosing real.
So, here’s your challenge for the week: write something by hand—a note, a letter, a doodle. Allow it to smudge, to wobble, and to be gloriously imperfect. In doing so, you’ll discover the quiet clarity that emerges when you slow down long enough to hear your own thoughts. Remember, every step you take, no matter how small, is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future. Trust in your journey, and embrace the progress you make, however gradual it may be.
Let this episode inspire you to take that slight shift toward a life filled with connection and clarity. Until next time, stay amazing, brilliant, gorgeous, and wonderful.
