It’s not my birthday but I do love receiving birthday cards and I’m reflecting on why that is…
In a world of WhatsApp, social media, emails, and the list goes on…how often do you see your handwriting?
And how often do your loved ones get the chance to see your handwriting?
And the time I get to see my loved ones’ handwritings is usually in the birthday cards they write to me…and the times that they get to see mine is in my cards to them.
And I think that seeing someone’s handwriting is one way of peeling a layer of “perfectionism” away (well atleast if you see mine 🤣) and it’s 1 step closer to being more vulnerable in your relationships…seeing their authentic selves…as everyone’s handwritings are so different.
I can spot my Mom’s handwriting from a mile away, and I can spot my Dad’s from a mile further. I know which sister has written me a note when, and I know my dearest friend’s handwritings too.
So please don’t stop writing birthday cards to your people, don’t stop writing in your soul’s text. Your handwriting is as unique as your soul is.
I believe that writing loving messages via text is a beautiful way to deepen your connection with someone. But…if you want to deepen the emotional intimacy in your relationship, then write that same loving message in your soul’s font. Write it in your handwriting. It’s yours and yours alone.
Embrace your soul’s font. Embrace your handwriting.
