#175 - December (the final!) Friendship Challenge: Write a Letter to One Friend
Description
The final friendship challenge of the year is to write one friend a real letter. This was inspired by the novel I'm currently reading and loving--The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.
Yes, it can be typed and even sent via email. But this NOT a text saying, “I hope you’re well" or "I miss you."
Write an honest, thoughtful note saying:
- Here’s why you matter to me. . . Or
- I keep thinking about the time you . . .
- My year was better because you . . .
- I’m grateful for the way you. . .
- This memory still sticks with me because . . .
It can be one paragraph, but it should be from the heart.
If you’ve been following the challenges, this is the perfect finale. If you’re new, it’s a surprisingly easy way to deepen one friendship right now. This challenge doesn’t require making plans, arranging childcare, or leaving the house. This is all about a few sincere sentences that could make someone’s entire year.
I also did a super-speed recap of all eleven previous challenges. So if you missed a few, you’ll catch up in minutes. And you’ll hear why I'm retiring the challenges for next year. (Not the podcast, just the challenges.)
