My first letter..

I made the template for my letters, I'm going to be looking for the first person today, I'm curious to see how this first letter works out...Let me know what you think.



Dear____,

I am guessing you will find this letter as quite as a surprise. Please allow me to explain. My name is Staci Godsey, I am a 30 yr old mother to two wonderful children, and I live in a small town in Kansas. I am embarking on a personal journey to help me grow and learn as a person allowing me to pass my morals down to my children-all the while trying to make this world a better place on step at a time. I have started a quest-called The Letter Project, and I am personally blogging this on my website. I have chosen 12 people randomly to send a letter to, along with $25. (Please I am not rich by any means.) I am hoping that with God’s guidance I will have chosen the right 12 people. Here’s what I am hoping YOU do with the money.
1. Find a way to give back to the community with the money that I have sent you, be creative, $25 doesn’t get you far, but it might buy someone lunch in the drive through, put gas in someone’s car, buy groceries for someone who can’t afford them, etc..
2. Write me back with the self addressed envelope that I’m sending you, and tell me what you did with the money-if you have a chance take pictures so I can post them on my blog. Tell me how this experience helped you, or hurt you(hopefully not), What was it like for you to selflessly someone else’s money on something good for the community, or another person. Did I inspire you because I would like to know.
3. If you didn’t spend the money on anyone, and you chose to spend it on yourself, I would like to hear that also, I would really like for you to use it for the purpose I sent it but if you must and you feel like at that moment you needed it more, please tell me that. Please tell me if I helped you.
4. If you don’t feel comfortable at all doing this then simply send this money back in the envelope I provided for you and I will resend it to someone else.
Please remember I sent this to YOU for a reason. I chose you completely randomly, and God has directed me in this way. I have no idea who you are, I got your address off the Internet in the white pages. I am not naïve to the fact that people may not respond to me at all, or may not choose to do at all what I hope for, if that is the case then I will have learned from this experience one way or another.

Thanks for your time,
Staci Godsey

The Letter Project

Sometimes in my life I feel like even though I have a hundred million things going on it seems to not have any prominence or meaning. It lacks importance, I need something, something to make me feel like my life has an importance, so I have come up with a solution...The Letter Project. I'm not quite sure how this is going to work out but my rough draft plan is to randomly pick out 12 people through out the US over the next year, send them a letter and include $25,( I'm not rich by any means) and a post addressed envelope back to my address..(or PO BOX). The only thing that I ask of them is to figure out how to use that money to do something for someone or the community that is a selfless and random act of kindness. If they can I ask they take pictures and write me back and tell me how they used the money that way I can add it to my blog. If they can't think of a way to use the money and use it for that reason-then I will ask them to please return it to me in the envelope.

I'm a true believer that goodness is created from a cycle that keeps on growing, and maybe here I can start my own cycle. Selfless Random acts of Kindness are beneficial to people in so many ways. One thing you do today could have an impact on dozens of people.

I'm so excited to start this and I hope I get the results I want-although I'm not naive to the fact that people might just use this money and not right me back at all-I do hope that is not the case...and that God will help me chose the right people.
