Hello Wealthy Affialiates!

Today is the unofficial holiday known as National Postal Worker Day—and as someone who lives for snail mail, I couldn’t let it pass without a little mailbox magic.

I genuinely love going to the mailbox. It’s my daily dose of joy. A simple ritual, yes—but one that never fails to brighten my day. There’s something about flipping through postcards, letters, and bits of ephemera that feels like unwrapping tiny gifts from the universe.

It’s now tucked neatly inside my mailbox, waiting to be discovered.

Here’s the poem I wrote:
