Sending my grade school bestie a note

In one of the crazier, small world, no that didn’t just happen life events, I was reading this Reuters’ article on the power and importance of thank you notes in the business world and they quoted the expert Christina Cookman.

CHRISTINA COOKMAN!!!??!

She was my bestest friend in the whole world from ages six to 12! She walked up to me on the first day of school, looked me in the eyes and said, “Do you want to be my friend?” Now, come on, she was my kind of girl. Hell, yes, I replied (in a six-year old version, I’m sure).

I’m thrilled to see that we have cross paths again - this time in our firm belief in the power of letters! I’m scouring the internet trying to find an address to handwrite her a note but so far, no success. I will find her. I will write her. And, most importantly, I will thank her for walking up to me on day one and giving me the best gift anyone can give, her awesome friendship!

What a pal! That is the best argument for thank you notes yet!

... Awesome update: Within an hour of writing this post and tweeting to the attention of the super cool Reuters' journalist Chris Taylor, both Chris and Cookie sent me her address! And 10 minutes later, I was stamping my letter to her. Booyah, baby! It's the perfect blend of old school and technology!!
