Postcards
For years I traveled on business to wonderful places all over the world. My career in leadership development and training has taken me from Paris to Tokyo to Mexico City. Needless to say, I was always on the lookout for little things that would let me share the trip with my mom.
In addition to postcards, she enjoyed real memorabilia from the trips. So when the trip was over, the ticket that went to Paris or Tokyo or London with me, along with subway maps, restaurant menus, a coin or two, and maybe a local candy bar went into an envelope to her. She said it was an exciting moment when her “Paris or London or Tokyo packet” arrived in Arkansas!
Tip: Share your world with your loved ones. What might have been trash to you might be treasures to them.
Please share your stories with me so I can share them with others.
Be Well and Bring Joy

Sending things from your day or trip is a great idea..Our Mom received a used hot choc choc cup and was on the phone in a flash..Do you know what your Sister sent me?? No..What!!!!.. a used hot choc choc cup…where is my choc choc?? Then she laughed so hard ..She said how funny.. There were many times we laughed about it later..
I’m sorry for my earlier comments it was hot cocoa not hot choc I was still asleep..I just read it and man oh man I’m getting old…
