NEW EXCERPT COMING SOON! Watch this space.

This morning, I participated in the Blogtalk radio with Verastic, MyneWhitman and Sting. The topic of discussion was "Women changing, keeping or hyphenating their last names after marriage." Interesting discussion, if you ask me. I spoke on a very light-hearted note though, about village bad-belle women...{:)}but all the same, kudos to Verastic and everyone who participated for a job well-done.

I appreciate things that are strikingly different and simple. People, life cannot get any better than this - the kitchen is such a beautiful place; everything makes me smile.

I have a box of letters, it is an actually vintage wooden box with a twist hook and a curved roof. It's one of the things I would grab if I had a fire. Anyway, in secondary school, I kept most of my letters, notes and silly messages. I do not throw such things away. In fact, I have had to reduce the number of times I open that box because those letters are wearing out. Sadly, I have not written that many letters in recent times. But, I will write as much as I can and encourage others to write to me so that I could keep them. Letters are priceless, they are different from text messages and e-mails. Besides, I do not like to text...I want to write.

So, here's a picture of my letter box. If you could, please revive the art of writing letters for yourself. Pass a silly note to a friend or family and encourage them to keep it and do the same to you.

{Old picture of the box. Beside my old Bible}

P.S: Be careful about what you write. Once something is on paper, even after you die, it will live on. Do not write down anything that you do not need anyone else to know. NEVER. Written words are powerful so, I thought I would throw in that caution. Also, write to people whom you love. When they feel otherwise or down, they will have your letter to read.

Oh, I loooooove letters. If I moved back home, I would trade my phone for an effective postal service.

Bless,
