The original mailbox in the photos on this blog washed away in a storm, but there's a new mailbox up now. I hope some day you can leave a note too!

And so I can really relate to what you are saying . I too have been moving around, looking around for things and people that would inspire me to feel like I am living the life I want. And it's the creative stuff that I feel drawn to -- collage, writing, etc. At the same time, I'm taking baby steps in doing things I wouldn't be doing if I was me a month ago.Annahttp://snowglassapple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449772247636724601.post-27223360402094502502012-05-16T07:46:32.201-04:002012-05-16T07:46:32.201-04:00Thanks for sharing the story about your girlfriend...Thanks for sharing the story about your girlfriend. I still visit the mailbox on my walks and read some of the posts. It continues to amaze me how this little mailbox and notepads provide so much comfort to so many. The mailbox as pictured above washed away in the hurricane last autumn, as I understand often happens, but a new one was put up close to the old location. That's part of the beauty of it too, I think, that like everything else, it comes and goes. I do hope you have the opportunity to travel here with your girlfriend at some point in the future. It's a magical place.

She had moved to Wilmington with her daughter and ultimately ended up alone when her daughter moved home...fighting a health condition and loneliness, she found solace in these books...writing on the pages like a friend that was missing from her life. It meant a great deal to her. I hope someday she and I will travel there together and write in the book together. From the stories, it has touched many lives...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449772247636724601.post-28399702066163284162012-02-21T14:45:49.474-05:002012-02-21T14:45:49.474-05:00Hi Reni!
