I received this letter in the mail at work. Sent from Denver, but it didn’t have a return address. It is a card, with no writing inside. Just my address hand-written on the front. It was weird, however, the weirdness has turned into an inspiration.

I am a perfectionist. At times I think that’s an understatement. But this letter has given me a bit of inspiration to not be quite as extreme of a perfectionist. I didn’t even tweak the scan of the card that is shown here (even though the background is streaky). See, I’m trying.

So, it also inspired me to get this website up and running (leaving out ooooh so many details) and just to start. So, here I am–back on the web. And there you are reading this!

(Just so you know, friend, I think I know who you are who sent the card. But I do thank you.)

I’m passing it along. My valentine letter from me to you. Maybe it will be your best valentine? Your most inspirational?: What would YOU do if you didn’t have to do it perfectly? What would YOU do if you could just do it and do it today?

(By the way, since I’m doing this and not doing it perfectly, this website does not work in Windows on Internet Explorer very well. And many many links don’t work. I’ll get to it when I get to it. “wink”)
