Welcome back to letter writing prompts! If you’re unsure about the idea of writing letters, I recommend you start with this post. The last letter we explored was a light-hearted one, a letter to an old friend. You can find that post here. And today, we’re talking about former mentors!

But essentially, I covered the beautiful release that it can bring to you, as well as new perspectives on old events, and also that sending a letter can really make someone’s day, and help encourage them way beyond what you might imagine. I also vowed to bring some ideas for letter-writing to my dear readers, so that even those of you struggling for ideas will have access to this beautiful practice, at least to get the ball rolling.
