Life/Style: Enjoying the Finer Things

From the Editor
There is definitely more to living stylishly than just looking perfectly put together in every situation. There is family, love, learning, teaching, contributing, and a host of other things that make our hectic lives peaceful and satisfying. One thing I enjoy is sending hand-written notes. Not just for thank yous, but for a variety of occasions large and small. It seems that in the age of e-mail, which can be casually clicked and sent with nary a thought, letter writing is becoming a lost art. But who saves e-mails in the baby’s memory box? How can an e-mail express your longing or passion for someone far away? How can an e-mail convey to someone that you care so much that for no particular reason, you picked up a pen, inked it in your distinct hand, and affixed a stamp to it, just for him or her?
And there is something elegant and sumptuous about fine stationery that makes a person feel like they are indulging every time a crisp sheet or card is pulled out. I use Sharpie ultra fine point pens and take the opportunity to scrawl in my prettiest penmanship to those I love most.
