Guess what Oprah, Richard Branson and Taylor Swift have in common?

They all write personal handwritten notes on a regular basis.

The late George H.W. Bush did too!

I think in this digital age, we could all use a little more snail mail in the world right now.

Don't you?

And I'm not talking about more ads and bills.

Believe me, we've got plenty of those.

Did you know that not including holiday cards and invitations, the average American household receives just 10 pieces of personalized mail in a year?

In this day in age of email, text, Snapchat and Facebook messaging, good old snail mail is almost non existent.

But we can save it!

You can send a handwritten note for any reason...to say thank you, to congratulate someone or just because you were invited to a friend's for dinner.

It stands out and means a lot more to the recipient vs. if you just shot off a text or an email.

If you're a business sending out notes, you'll REALLY stand out, which means more business for you.

Writing a note by hand feels good and makes you more creative.

With the number of hours we spend in front of a screen, we need to get away from screens and let our creative juices flow.

Handwritten notes feel good and make you happy.

Think of the last time you received a handwritten note in the mail.

Didn't it make you smile?

Plus handwritten notes linger.

A lot of us are trying to clear out our email inbox.

Handwritten notes stick around for awhile on desks or stuck to a fridge.

Getting started is easy.

Purchase some blank cards like these.

Cards that are hand-drawn or give back to charity have special meaning.

Get some stamps and a nice pen, and put everything in a box.

Now you're ready to go!

So the next time you want to say thank you to someone.

Don't get on your computer.

Get our your cards and pen instead.

You'll make someone's day.

And that's what the world needs more of right now.
