live | love.

Imagine you are going through a particularly rough time, and one day you receive a bundle of letters, in which are loads of kind thoughts and prayers to you. How would it make you feel? There is a charity right now which does just this! It offers someone the chance to request some love for someone they know is in need, and others the chance to lighten up someone else's day. We find it amazing that organisations like this exist, because it enables us to directly give love to a stranger on the other side of the world! You hear so much about people suffering, but nobody really believes that it is possible to actually help them in any way.  Now, a small number of those people can be helped - by you!

The charity is internet-based, run by Hannah Brencher, who began a blog as a way of sending personalised love letters to people who gave her an email address. The website has since bloomed.


Emily found the website last year and was completely entranced by the idea, eager to get a hold of her pen and paper and write to someone. The idea completely had me hooked too, and we decided we would start writing to others to make them feel a bit better about life. It's completely free to take part, all you have to do is just put your email address in, and you're done! A new collection of love letter requests come out every month, and it's up to you to choose which person you would like to write to. Emily and I will tell you, it is the best feeling to know you're helping someone else out in some way or another. 

Please join us in sending a little bit of love to someone, somewhere! 

Enjoy today!!
