How to write a love letter
short and sweet
1. Think of someone in your life… ♥
- who’s made a difference in your life
- you want to reconnect with
- you want to forgive from the past
- you want to tell them the truth about something
- tell them you’re thinking of them
- who comes to mind, for any reason, from a place of LOVE
2. Get a piece of paper, or … ♥
- an old card and make it new
- make a card by drawing, or collage, or doodle something with colour (a heart, a star, a jellyfish)
- a card from your stash
- buy some tiny heart notes, or blank cards, to have on hand
3. Imagine that person, for a moment, and start your love letter with… ♥
- “Dear ____________________________, “
4. Start with the first line. Tell them why you’re writing to them… ♥
- “I was thinking about you today and wanted to send you a note to tell you that…”
- “You are someone really special in my life. You… (tell them why)”
- “I thought of you today, when I looked at ___________________ and wanted to let you know that I forgive you for …”
- “I saw you today and wanted to say that I’m sorry for …”
5. Write 1 -3 more lines. ♥
(Let it flow. Don’t edit, or correct anything, as you write.)
- What is really special about them, like “you make me feel really ________________ because _________”
- What they’ve done for you
- Why you want to write to tell them that you’re thinking about them
- Encourage them
- Characteristics they exude
- How they brighten your day
- Why you admire them
- What makes them special to you
6. Sign your love letter, with feeling… ♥
- “Love from,”
- “Wishing you lots of love,”
- “With love,”
- “love,”
- “All the best,”
- “Best wishes,”
- create your own ♥
7. Send your love letter… ♥
(depending on where they live and how you want to deliver it)
- Put it into an envelope and go to the post office ASAP to get it sent! DON’T DELAY!
- Leave it on the person’s car (under windshield wipers)
- Leave it on their desk at work
- Put it on their pillow
- Leave it on the doorstep, with a stone on top
- Put it on their bike (make sure it’s secure and won’t blow away)
8. Feel the love from sending your love letter… the best! ♥
- smile
- feel the goodness
- be proud that you followed through
- enjoy the ripple effect of loving action
- take a moment to feel the good feels
- make sure you have a stash of cards for next time!
