Postcard to the Universe

Summer holidays are here.

A chance to slow down, reconnect with self and family, and perhaps if we are lucky, to travel to distant and hospitable lands. There, unfamiliar landscapes, languages, rites, foods and fragrances stir up our senses, too often dulled by the monotony of daily life back home.

Travelling is hardwired in our biology and psyche, humans always were nomadic wanderers, exploration stimulates our neural pathways, our sense of purpose. It is no coincidence that journeying always invites that important question: is it time for change...?

And what if these holiday ruminations had merit...? A call to action to dust off the quotidian and invite new connections, new opportunities, fresh perspectives.

We have conditioned ourselves to discard these holiday thoughts, to waft them away like wasps around the breakfast jam, because they are impulsive, intuitive, devoid of reason... but is love any different? 

We don't share these thoughts either for fear of sounding silly and irrational and so they exist only for an exciting sparkling minute before being laughed at and abandoned, blamed on that famous foreign supermarket rosé.

A friend of mine writes on the back of postcards when she wants to manifest change in her life. She calls it "postcards to the universe". Judging by her life, it is obviously working. 

I love postcards. The original tweet, casual enough for the whole postal service to read, intimate enough to make sense only to the recipient. A form of writing fast disappearing. 

I believe that the more one reads the same words, the more they anchor themselves into reality, the same way mantras or affirmations work.

So if you want to share your thoughts with the universe this summer, manifest new unexplored chapters, we invite you to write them down on a postcard and send them to us anonymously.

We will read your words carefully and respectfully, speak them into life and treasure them as a powerful testament to your willingness to embrace change.

Make things happen... 

Send us your postcards to:

Postcards to the Universe, Jolene Bakery HQ, 263 Well Street, London, E9 6RG

We will re-post your cards anonymously on our social platforms to spread your words far and wide...
