I’m following through with an idea that I had just before I left for Colorado last week. I got caught up in the idea of collecting post cards during my travels starting in college. I was obsessed with some of the cool pictures on the front and how people would react to receiving them. Suddenly I had way too many saved up, similar to the situation with all my books.
This post is a hat tip towards Grace Boyle for her post on hand writing letters. A post card isn’t exactly a letter and lord knows I love writing letters, but I’d like to send my friends a post card that I think they’ll like.
Other reason’s why I’m doing this:
- I want to downsize in case of the move I hope comes soon.
- I realize I don’t keep track of people’s mailing addresses and if I wanted to send an impromptu letter, I couldn’t.
So, if you’d like a postcard, all you’ve gotta do is send me an email to james.r.moreau AT gmail dot com with your mailing address.
I hope this might spur your letter or post card sending impulses too. Pay it forward!

Hi James,
I found your blog through LinkedIn. I’m a budding postcard collector, myself. I’ve got about 100 from the past few years of traveling and moving around. Friends and family send them to me and I send them to my friends, too. I’ll send you one from the Alpes if you send one to me.
How does that sound?
What a great idea….I love receiving mail…and I love postcards. I’m like you, in that i buy them, but never send them…LOL…
I’m gonna send you my address…cause I would love to see what you send…and help you with your mission to downsize!
Oooo. I like this idea! Would it be strange for me to send you my address even though we hardly know each other? haha
@Jenny, I’d be happy to send a postcard regardless of how much we chat! Let me know and send me and email if you’d like!
@Dawn, thanks for your part in helping me downsize!
@Leslie, I’d love to receive a postcard from the alps! That sounds just great! Shoot me your address and I’ll send you mine back
