I'm slow when it comes to finding good blogs to read. I'll admit that. I had no idea who famous blogger Dooce was until I found a copy of It Sucked and Then I Cried at my local Goodwill last year. Yep, thats how out of touch I am when it comes to bloggers. I wish everyone would go back to sharing their favorite blogs that way I wouldn't have slept so long on Karen Walrond. Her blog, chookooloonks.com is beautiful, inspiring and uplifting. Thank goodness for hearing her speak on "How to be Extraordinary" at Niche Mommy '12 or I don't think I would have found her blog or followed her on Twitter.
Last month Karen opened up a form promising a postcard from her to the first 100 (or so) to sign up. I made the cut and received my postcard last week! Not only is the photo gorgeous but the quote and note from her is lovely. I kept it in my purse all week and was genuinely inspired to do the same. I wanted to do something!
We love snail mail - receiving it and sending it. Inspired in part by Karen Walrond, a fan club I was involved in on a forum in the early 2000s and a mix of my own ideas, #culturefanclub was born because I am your fan! I will be sending out photos, art, books, sweets, letters, postcards, anything! It can be something little, maybe something big. That is the beauty of me being your fan. I would love to send everyone something but the reality is that there will be a total of 24 parcels going out. 2 for each month. There are no strings attached - All I ask is that if you receive something from me, please let me know it arrived by tweeting or instagramming me @raisedbyculture and/or using the hashtag #culturefanclub
