Description:

Welcome to the first of the 2020 Monday Mailer swaps! If you've been on this journey before or starting for the very first time, we're glad to have you.

The idea is simple: you'll have one partner, and every week, preferably on Monday, you mail out an envelope/packet to her. This is a USA only swap to help ensure mailings arrive within a week.

At the end of the swap, you should have received four mailings, and possibly made a new friend. I can testify to that! One of my dearest friends is a swapper I was paired with more than 10 years ago in a Monday Morning Mailer swap on another, now defunct, swap site.

Every Monday you will mail your partner an envelope or package that contains something to read, something to do or try and a short note on the week's topic. The themes are broad and can be interpreted in any way. (If you'd like, your something to read and something to do can be related to the week's topic.)

Please post below any suggestions for themes or Scripture for upcoming swaps.

You can send anytime during the week. We began this series using Monday, then later in 2019 changed to any day of the week. For ease of swap description, I'm using Monday dates.

Monday, Jan. 6: An introductory note or letter. Theme: New Year's resolutions/goals [OR] Epiphany

Monday, Jan. 13: Theme - Winter [OR] Psalm 148

Monday, Jan. 20 (This is MLK Day so no mail moves. Be sure to mail before the end of the week.): Theme - Justice [OR] Psalm 82:3

Monday, Jan. 27: Theme - Sender's choice. (You decide what the theme will be!)

Feel free to respond to your partner. Maybe a long-term friendship will indeed develop.

Examples of something to read: a letter, an article, a short story or a book, a zine, a devotion, etc.

Examples of something to do or try include, but are not limited to: craft kits (for cards, ATCs, dotees, etc), crossword or other puzzles, a Bible quiz or study, recipes, a profile-related project or activity, a mix CD to listen to, etc.

Examples of surprises: bookmarks, postcards, art made by you, profile surprises (check your partner's profile for suggestions), anything related to faith or Christianity, etc.

Rate your partner after receiving the fourth envelope/package.

Thank you to all who have participated in this series so far!

The 2020 schedule will be January, March, May, July, September, November. And since we had such a terrific Christmas Mailer in 2019, we'll plan to do it again.

USA swappers. Group membership. Snail mail.

USPS Priority Mail package went out to my partner today. The tracking number is 9505 5065 8591 0004 1593 51. Enjoy!

All: My to/from partners know this already, but I'm having a surgical procedure on Monday, Jan. 6. The package I sent to my partner yesterday contained packets for each week since I won't be able to get to the post office to mail out every week.

This whole situation happened fast -- symptoms, testing, diagnosis, second opinion, surgery scheduled -- all in 6 weeks.

Have fun this month. Blessings to each of you.
