The Power of Letter Writing with Amy Daughters
Amy Wineland Daughters experienced a life-changing impulse that led her to reconnect with an old camp friend on Facebook, despite not having contact for 30 years.  This heartfelt experience inspired her to write handwritten letters to all 580 of her Facebook friends and the belief that when human beings connect  individually in a meaningful way, nothing can separate them.  Amy is a keynote speaker, letter writer, satirist, sports journalist, and the award winning author of two books, Dear Dana, that time I went crazy and wrote all 580 of my Facebook friends a handwritten letter, and You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened.     What You Will Hear in This Episode:  02:39 Amy's Impulsive Journey Begins 04:25 From One Letter to Many 07:55 The Power of Handwritten Letters 17:53 Impact on the Recipients and lessons on communication 21:56 Message to Listeners 26:43 Supporting Women and Encouraging Risk-Taking 27:55 Call to Action   Quotes “ The intentional deliberate act of letter writing, it has the power, these people were going to have this magical moment at a mailbox where they connect the dots and we're like, Oh my God, I matter to another person in this world. “ “ A letter or a card is a physical connection because you're going to hold in your hand something that your friend held in their hand and it's meant just for you. And it took effort and time on your part or on the sender's part.” “ I don't think we intend to make people feel like they don't matter. I think the world we live in and the advantages we have with technology isolate us.”. “ Writing the letter to someone and telling them you care or you value or appreciate them, it will do something to you that can change you in a way that you cannot even gauge.”   Mentioned: Amydaughters.com Facebook Instagram   eConnect with Bonnie Gendered Ageism Survey Results Forbes article 5 Tips to own the superpower of your age IAMMusicGroup   Purchase my book Not Done Yet on Amazon:    If you enjoyed this episode of Badass Women Podcast, then make sure to subscribe to the podcast and drop us a five-star review.
