Have Notecards, Will Travel

The next time you pack your bags, add notecards to your list of travel essentials! Here are the top 4 reasons why sending a note to someone special (or to yourself) while you’re on vacation is a good idea:

 1. If it’s a romantic getaway you’re after, chances are, you left the kids at home. There’s no better way to say, “we’re thinking of you and we miss you” than by sending a quick handwritten note or a postcard to the little ones you left behind.

2. Travel can be a great time for reflection. It’s a time when you get to slow down and be intentional with your thoughts. You don’t have to wait until you get home to act on them! Having notecards on hand means you can share inspirational thoughts in the moment.

3. Checking your work email while you are away can be disastrous. Leave work behind and in the hands of a capable co-worker. Send a note from your travels letting him or her know you appreciated them stepping in for you while you were away.

4. How many times have you gone away and tried to bottle up the feeling that washes over you. A fantastic sunset, a great dinner, an amazing excursion - don’t let those moments pass you by entirely. Mail yourself a note memorializing them. When you get home, it will be a welcome reminder of the great times you just enjoyed.
