Rediscover the Mailbox

In a world of instant notifications, disappearing stories, and digital noise, there is a quiet power in holding something real. We have traded penmanship for pixels, and in doing so, we’ve lost the anticipation of opening the mailbox to find something that isn't a bill or an advertisement.

This year, as I embrace my own "analog life" and step away from the screen, I want to invite you to join me in reviving the lost art of correspondence.

Introducing: The Paper Trail

This is an invitation to slow down. By joining the club, you aren't just subscribing to a service; you are claiming a piece of the journey.

Each month, I will sit down—at a desk in a rustic lodge, by a campfire in the Maine woods, or from the porch of a general store—and write to you. Not an email blast. Not a typed newsletter. A real, physical postcard.

What You’ll Receive:

• Hand-Selected Imagery: Vintage-style postcards curated from the specific towns, mountains, and hamlets I am visiting that month—from the snowy peaks of the White Mountains to the rocky coasts of New England.

• Handwritten & Signed: Every card is written in ink by me, Michael, with a personal note about the location, a thought for the month, or a field note from the road.

• The Stamp of the Journey: Postmarked directly from the source. If I'm skiing in Vermont, your card comes from Vermont. If I'm camping in Provincetown, it comes from the Cape.

The Philosophy

There is a magic in "snail mail" that a text message can never replicate. A postcard is a keepsake. It has texture. It bears the marks of its travel to get to you. It is a reminder that we can still connect in deeply human, intentional ways, even in a high-speed world.

Let’s build a paper trail together.
