A Little Information About This Project....

 A few years ago, I got writers block really bad. After weeks of writing the alphabet, over and over, I got really frustrated and tired of writing A B C in capital and lower case I started wondering how I was going to get myself through it... I was really desperate and it was really effecting the way I was living my life... It started to look more like I was surviving it and barely at that I was starting to scare myself! I really believed that I was never going to be able to write again. So, I dug in, started reading everything about writing I could. Then I moved onto all kinds of books about psychology (thinking I could figure out a way to fix myself) and finally, I move on to the Bible ( Desperation.... ) And there it was right in front of me... Psalms.... Little notes/prayers to God and the idea was born.  I had been writing to my (at the time) unborn child for a long time but I realized it was time to take it to another level.  And so it began... The Letters Project V 1.0 . A letter everyday to someone, anyone it doesn't matter who they are but at least one letter a day.

It was fun at first, 
Dear Mailman, I really appreciate that you actually remember my name although I never get any mail.

Dear Garbage Truck Guy, Thanks so much for blocking my car in while you gawk at me like I'm nude at 7:30 in the morning. 

Dear Guy Who Pumps My Gas, You Suck! I hate that I have to trust you with my gas card and that you don't top off my tank.
And so on and so on... But then I realized, I really wasn't challenging myself and these letters meant nothing... They had no substance and that really wasn't me...Isn't me!  So,for the past two years I've been writing letters that have depth, truth, and substance. I'll be posting some older ones and adding newer ones as I write them... I hope you enjoy!
