Think of us all like pen pals!

Did you ever have a pen-pal in school? If so, you know you sent letters to and from one another and awaited the day to open the letter from your new friend, whom you have not met. The two of you have created a bond just by sharing words. Sometimes you may have added a special picture or something other than just a letter, but something they can use, maybe a keepsake. Think of these contests as that, you and I pen-pals from across the land, sharing knowledge and laughs, and when you have friends you care for traditionally you want to send them a gift, right?

So I figure since the giveaway is a little notebook, I would like you to send a letter to anyone you wish telling about you!

This contest is going to be a bit different.

Last week I offered a free calendar magnet, this week I am offering a steemit notebook.

• Write a letter to whoever you wish, use the tag charismapal
• When you send the letter, I will assign you a number
• at the end of the payout from this post I will select a winner through a number generator
• That's it!

I also would like to introduce you to another fellow steemian who is putting on a great contest also.

What do you have to do?

Just send him a picture of life around you. Just use your own original pictures taken from your phone or camera and that's it! So head over to @deliberator's blog and check out his awesome contest open to all, no restrictions, no gimmicks, just a winner guaranteed!

I also want to thank @tecnosgirl for providing me with the awesome steem-swag she created to share with all of you awesome people!

Thank you again for dropping by and if you want to win, just write me a letter telling me a bit about you!

First, let me tell you about me.

I love to read mysteries, mostly psychological thrillers. I love anything to do with nature, unless it is snow, then I only love to see it in pictures, or on the mountains far away! I do not like to be cold, ever! I do not like to listen to the music my son brings around me, but my mom didn't want to hear mine either, so I keep this in mind. I live in a town that used to be one of the greatest places to be, well around here anyway, but after the factories have all gone, it is pretty desolate. The people I once knew are either gone, as in for good, or gone to another state, or so far gone in the heroin epidemic that it's almost impossible for them to turn around. I loved this place as a child. I had so much to do. The children here are almost doomed unless they have a means to get out. The mentality here seems to be like that anyway. Like there is no other choice, but if you know me you know I believe we all have a choice. I believe every person across the world is free to be themselves and anyone telling them it isn't right is just doing it wrong. I think people try to push their thought processes on others in such a way that it can be too much and the cause can be lost. My dream for each of us is to be happy. That seems such a hard goal for some people. They consume all of the things the world has to offer buying and buying yet never happy. Man, what's that like. I hate it for people who live in the fanciest of homes off in the subs that have more domestic issues than the low-income homes the media seems to report on. There are so many things I could ramble on about in this letter, but I guess I will close this for now. I look forward to learning about you, my new friend from across the land.

Until next time,
@charisma777
