Thank you. And of course, borrow away!! I don't actually do this every year. I did it one year, but it has stayed with me ever since. I'm glad this simple little idea has inspired you! Happy New Year to you! Nancy, you are always filled with kind words. Thank you. And of course, borrow away!! I don’t actually do this every year.

I thought it was daunting too, at first, but I just started with one person, and soon several more letters followed. Happy 2012 to you! Shimmering!! Susan, I’m glad you like this idea.

How wonderful that your sisters knew at an early age what they meant to you. I'm glad this post rekindled your joy of connecting in this way. Have a wonderful new year!

You should be out there in print letting the world enjoy your uniqueness. Love your "niggling notion." Mind if I cope your phrase one day? What an amazing idea, and you do it every year! I have a question . . . do you write the same 15 people each year, or 15 different people? I, too, am going to start my own list. And each time I sit to write, I'll think of you and the special impact you're making on this world. Happy New Year, Becky. May it be filled with good health, much love and uncommon success.

I feel it's something I should undertake, but it's a bit daunting. I'm glad to hear that it took you a whole year to do. I think I would start with my brother, too. Mental note to also add completing projects and fitness to my own 2012 year list, but I won't hold my breath. Shimmer away. Truly a lovely idea.

I still remember my sister, who has since passed away, leaning over my other sister's shoulder (her twin, blind and disabled), reading the words I had written for each of them. There were tears. I don't remember what I wrote, but I'll never forget how moved I was by the writing and the giving of them. Thank you for reminding me of my own passion for sharing in this way. I'm going to do more of this in 2012, starting right now! When I was a teenager, I did the same thing for each family member.

I think you are right about healing emotional wounds too. It could be a very powerful too for that.
