You’ve done it again, Felice! You’ve given voice to all the benefits of writing by hand as an extension of the heart. As someone who sat in front of a typewriter or keyboard her entire career, I can tell you it’s fast and efficient, but so much more powerful and rewarding to write by hand. Writing time is thinking time for me. Joan Didion’s wise words come to mind, “I don’t know what I think until I write it down.” I’ve absolutely found that to be true for me. Thank you for a truly inspiring reminder.

Felice, I don’t know how you keep doing it, but once again, I am both moved and inspired to elevate my note-writing game. You’ve shined a spotlight on so many important things in this post. Thank you.

Thank you! Love that Didion quote. Yes, it's like sometimes my hand knows the words. Maybe because it's in direct contact with the pen? ;) Keep writing!
