I like the intentionality that comes with writing to a person. Old fashioned or not, they are keepsakes that surpass time and the fading of memories.

Thank you, Debs. This was very sweet to read. 🥹

My friend, you know thisssss. Old fashioned? I think not. Neverrrrr. The intentionality that comes with it alone? Sweet!

Thank you for reading!💗

I should work on this, cos I have never been written to as a writer but I want others to enjoy this feeling cos I love being written to.

Words indeed aren't empty.

Writers, expecially divinely inspired ones, are Life carriers.

"The words that I speak to you are, Spirit and Life."

Staying in the one that has the Spirit and Life only means that we carry same substance.

Keep thriving, dear one!

“Life carriers” indeed. I LOVE that allusion.

You're special. Thank you. 💖

My Sis! 😌 Just getting to read this. I love that the letter you wrote to your friend has been a source of comfort to you. God knew and He saw ahead. Sending you hugs.

I wrote a lot of letters back in the day, I remember writing to my closest friends while we were leaving Uni and the way they teared up in public. It warms my heart to see how words can stir up something beyond the ordinary in a person. There was a time I wrote letters to strangers and gave it to them on the road. They were scared it was a letter bomb or something lol. They made me read it to them and I can never forget the smiles on their faces. Obeying God pays. Always ❤️

I love letters. I've written few people letters. But I've only gotten one — from a friend.

And I agree with that part of my future partner writing me letters, too. 💙

This was a beautiful read, Adebola.

Only one, really? Aw. Now, I'm tempted to write you one. Kindly leave your email address in my DM whenever you can. I'll write you one, soon. Thank you for reading. ❤️

Oh I love this. As a child of God, as a lover girl, as a writer. The power words have to outlive us is genuinely so profound. Thank you for the encouragement.

This is so good!!!

I have been a beneficiary of your letters and they always hit the nail on the head. Always spot on, always timely.

Thank you for being intentional Debs, thank you for giving me my flowers.

You are one in a million.

I love you.❤️

That's my thingggggg.. and I thank God for it.

Really,I love writing letters, I recently wrote some few days to the end of the year to some of the persons I'm close with and someone gave a very special and loving comment i can never forget in a hurry, the person was so thrilled, I didn't even believe I could write so much too.. I was glad I put a smile on their faces.

Thank you so much ma. ❤️

So profound 🥹. I'm glad you were able to do this! Honestly, we never really know what we're capable of until we try. Shout-out to you for your consistent Sunday morning messages too. My goodness! I'm always smiling when I receive them😂🥹. Also, thank you for reading. 💖

This in itself is a beautiful letter. Thank you for sharing.

I was used to sharing a general letter to my contact base until I felt the need to make it personalised, especially to those whom I care about. Seeing the joy it brought them made me happy like I had fulfilled an heavenly purpose.

This newsletter is an encouragement to do that continually. Thank you, Adebola.❤

Adébọ́lá's avatar

Oh, Timilehin. I would never forget that one you sent toward the end of the year. Very special indeed. Thank you for being a voice of encouragement yourself. We do more. 🥂

Alao Oluwatimilehin's avatar

Thank you for sharing your this! 🥹❤️

I used to write letters to my friends before but I stopped and only wrote one throughout last year. This is a call for me to resume.

I receive letters from my friends and they mean a whole lot to me. Time to even re read them 🥺

This is a timely reminder for me. Thank you again! 💗💗

Adébọ́lá's avatar

Aww! Kenny, thank you for reading. 🫂

Time to re-read those letters, I concur😂🙏🏽

Abimbola's avatar

God help me 🥺

I have never written a personal letter to anyone before, but I would try it out 🤞

Adébọ́lá's avatar

Please do!😂🙏🏽

(*drags Tayo and Rahama to also plead with you)

Abimbola's avatar

Haha 🤣🤣😂😂
