Monday Mailings

by Uncustomary | May 12, 2014 | Snail Mail

There’s nothing like a mail social to reignite your love of mail. On Thursday, I joined a bunch of enthusiastic and creative ladies at the National Postal Museum for the monthly mail social. We used the generous supplies provided for us to write letters and make...

As I’ve mentioned, on Sunday, I got to go to the Postal Museum in DC. The Inverted Jenny stamp was re-released, and it turned into a giant party. I’ve never seen so many people in that museum, but it makes sense! Not only could you get first day release...

When I built Positive Pulse, I wanted a fun and ea When I built Positive Pulse, I wanted a fun and easy place for weird, wonderful, sensitive humans. 🌈 A colorful corner of the internet filled with pep talks, kindness missions, and reminders that you belong.

I still do. 💛

You showed up beautifully. Now our community has grown to nearly 1,000 members 🙀 and costs about $600 a month to keep running (hosting, tools, community care - before I even count my time).

But to keep showing up with 250+ resources and consistent joy missions, ❣️ I need your help.

🪧 To sustain it and keep building new spaces Nov 21, Positive Pulse we’re introducing Merriment Dues: 🪙 just 89¢/month.

That tiny coin 💰 keeps the vault, events, and kindness missions alive, for you and for everyone who finds their way here next! 🫶

Upgrade before November 11th and you’ll also receive a 🎁 bonus:

🌼 The Reconnect To Your Body Workbook ( 30+ pages ) - 📒 a guide to coming home to yourself, understanding avoidance, and rediscovering what it feels like to be in your body again. (💲Value $29)

You’ll start with a 🆓 week free trial and 🔐 lock in your rate for life.

💞 If you’re already with us, log in and upgrade 📅 by Nov. 21st!

💞 If you don’t know about it, 👀 check it out!
This week’s Group Mission: Street Treasure Hunt This week’s Group Mission: Street Treasure Hunt 🪙

Go for a walk and let your eyes 👀 get weird.

👩‍🎨 Bring them home and turn them into 🏰 a tiny shrine, collage, or guerrilla art piece. 🖼️

The goal is to remember that meaning isn’t found, it’s made! 🪡

✨ Bonus: take your creation back outside and leave it for someone else to find. 🛣️

Desmond is a fantastic Merriment Maker. 😀 He is also a photographer. And he loves going to as many events as he can to experience them and document people having a great time, being themselves, and having a great time. 🎉

He also is unlikely to be in front of the camera. But he makes sure that he does document himself once a week, as part of an ongoing project called 👑 “Tiara Tuesdays”.

As part of Tiara Tuesdays, he: ⤵️

💛 1) Wears a tiara all day (even at his very professional/government job) 🫅🏽

💛 2) Carries around tiaras in his bag all day 🎒

💛 3) Takes a photo of himself wearing his tiara 📸

💛 4) Whenever someone compliments or asks him about his tiara, he will tell them about his project and then offer them one of his extra tiaras as a free gift! 🎁

This is just one of the many ways Desmond is a Merriment Maker in Baltimore, Maryland, and I’m proud to call him my friend. 🤩

➡️ Find him at @picturesofusdotnet

It’s a great concept, but how do we DO IT? 🤷‍♀️

I dedicated week 3 of ESNW to how to APPLY theory to tangibility. 🛠️ How to actually DO practices.
