Today, nourish a long-distance friendship and bring joy to your heart by reviving the lost art of letter writing. Perhaps even get a pen pal relationship going.

First, find or create a card or stationery that you love. Then safely light a candle. Hold your hands in prayer pose, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths. Connect with the spirit of your long-distance friend. Envision them and send them love. Feel and imagine that love boomeranging back to you, warming your heart, and shining in all directions across the surface of the globe.

Now write a letter. It could be a quick note or a longer communiqué. Either way, let your friend know you care about them and they're in your thoughts. Perhaps throw in a fun little extra, like a sticker, a bookmark, or a pressed flower. Before you drop the letter in the mailbox, send love into the envelope and envision it filled with glittering light. Be sure to extinguish the candle.
