wandering downtown into a local gift shop, I found the word, "virago", inscribed on the front of a plain, white starched postcard. 

drawn to its sound and definition, I scooped it up along with three other eye-catching, bold-print scripted cards, reading: KALON, Eunoia & MeTaNoiA...

each a noun, they respectively meant: a brave woman, BEAUTY more than SKIN DEEP, beautiful thinking & a ChANge of MiND.

with these four new-found words in hand, my midday whim soon became an inspired project, to pen down a rolodex of collective life stories -

in which I learned to release the restraints of yesterday, settle the score with today and believe for a better tomorrow...

and I now share these posts with you all, for the best of friendships are born when we connect with the ones who can truly, "Read Your Mail".

n. a strong, brave or courageous woman

Virago
