The Magic of Letters: A Journey Through Anne’s World and My Own

The Magic of Letters: A Journey Through Anne’s World and My Own

As a child, letters were my gateway to wonder. Each envelope held a secret, a story, a world waiting to unfold. I kept them all—every note from a friend, every postcard from a faraway place, every scribbled memory—tucked safely in five treasure boxes, each brimming with nostalgia. They were more than just words on paper; they were moments of connection, preserved in ink.

This love for letters never left me, and as the world grew more digital, I found myself longing for the magic of the past. That’s why I started Dear Angel—to bring back the thrill of opening a letter, to revive the warmth of storytelling that feels personal, tangible, and timeless. And what better way to start than with a story that embodies the same sense of wonder?

Anne of Green Gables: A World of Imagination

There’s something about Anne Shirley that captures the heart. A girl with an imagination as vast as the sky, Anne found adventure in the ordinary. She turned a pond into the ‘Lake of Shining Waters,’ a simple lane into the ‘White Way of Delight.’ Her letters—had we received them—would have been full of dreams, misadventures, and heartfelt musings about life, love, and the beauty of the world around her.

Much like Anne, I believe in the magic of words and the joy of storytelling. Dear Angel is my way of sending a piece of that magic to you. Each letter I write is an adventure waiting to be discovered, inspired by history, literature, and the boundless wonders of the past and future.

Bringing Back the Art of Snail Mail

In an age where instant messaging rules, handwritten letters offer something rare—a pause, a moment to savor. A letter isn’t just read; it’s felt. The weight of the paper, the swirls of ink, the thoughtfulness behind each word—it all carries a certain kind of soul that digital screens simply can’t replicate.

Through Dear Angel, I want to share not just stories, but the experience of receiving something special in the mail, a gift of time and thought.

So, Dear Angel, let’s go on this adventure together. Let’s rediscover the simple joy of opening a letter, of being transported to another time, another place—just like Anne stepping into Green Gables for the first time, heart open to all the possibilities ahead.
