I am so excited to share with you the next phase of the Penpal Project: Penpal Circles! The purpose of a Penpal Circle is to create long-term relationships with a group of women through the written word. My hope is that this project will be an opportunity to grow community, to bring us together and learn from one another. And getting letters in the mail is pretty exciting too! 🙂
This is how it works:
+ Participants will be put into groups of four in a circle.
+ All participants will receive a welcome packet from me, explaining the process and the names/addresses of your circle members. Expect a few goodies inside as well! 🙂
+ Your welcome packet will explain who to write to first. For the first round, pairs will be made so everyone receives mail. Afterwards, you are free to write to whomever you wish as often as you like! A good rule of thumb is that you send out one letter whenever you receive one. But if you’d like to write to the entire circle, feel free!
+ Large gifts in every letter are not necessary. The purpose of the Penpal Circle is to create community through the written word. Your words are enough! If you’d like to send a little something along with your letter, that is entirely up to you, but not a requirement!
A few other things to note:
+ If you signed up for the first phase of the Penpal Project and would like to participate in the Penpal Circle, please sign up again!
+ While this was created with Mammas in mind, you do not have to be a Mamma to participate. We have so much to learn from women from all walks of life!
+ Your confidentiality is incredibly important to me. I will keep your information safe. That said, by signing up, you are also agreeing to keeping your circle members information safe as well.
+ Please spread the word! I would be forever grateful if you would share the project with your friends and blog readers 🙂
I’d love to have you join me! Please sign-up below!

If you didn’t think I was an odd duck before, this will probably convince you: I like to read the local obituaries...
