For 2018, I decided to write a letter a month in an attempt to keep in touch with my friends and readers.
No matter how busy life got, and even if I couldn’t make the time to write a new post, I never failed to send a letter.
I fell in love with the habit and the joy of reading everyone’s thoughtful replies, and so I kept with it.
Below you’ll find the letters that I have sent out so far. The ones marked with a star (猸愶笍) include my current favorites, which could be songs, books, products, lifestyle experiments, or anything else that I’m currently enjoying.
馃摤 If you’d like to receive my letters (the first weekend of every month), please drop your e-mail address here: Paper Planes & Packets, and I’ll take care of the rest.
