My husband wrote me a letter yesterday...

by Paula Neal Mooney

Okay, so it wasn't the heartfelt, gushing letters I just read at this site full of romantic love letters -- a client of PayPerPost.com, who's sponsoring this post. In fact it was a handwritten note telling me he'd stopped home for lunch and dropped off my dry cleaning, but it was still nice just the same.

It made me smile that in this IMing, email-driven, Google Talking world anyone would take the time to put pen (in this case, marker) to paper anymore to communicate anything. I know I haven't done so in a while and have two big thank you notes waiting in my mental queue...

"Early on in our relationship my sweetheart became a little overwhelmed," writes the scribe of a 'Dear John' (or is it Dear Jane?) letter originally titled 'Sorry' on the romantic love letters site that has a plethora of ideas that could go a long way to inspire some non-writing sap exactly 29 days from today.


"When she signed up with eHarmony," he continues, "she really wasn't looking to get into a serious relationship. In my own little way, I was what she was looking for. I just arrived earlier and with more intensity than she was ready for."

I admit that I'm behind on my letter writing. There's a locally well-known woman in prison that I've felt compelled to correspond with, and I know it's time to write her again.

Not your average Valentine's Day letter, for sure, but just as heartfelt and connecting. Because only in a day and age when my handwriting has gone shoddy due to all this keyboard pounding does pulling out my candle, a quality pen and rose-imprinted stationery to pen a nice letter say so much...

Always nice to receive a hand-written note or letter especially from those we love but these everyone thinks that a digital letter can replace the hand-written kind but there's just no comparison at the same time we're saving trees!

Awww, Paula, it's so sweet that your hubby took the time write a note. It's incredible how such seemingly small actions make a big impact on our lives. I love hand-written notes and letters. This new-fangled technology is more expedient but there's nothing like getting a personal note via snail mail!

Hi Paula... Your writing style is fantastic. I would recommend internal linking your previous posts to bring in the google juice.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
