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!
