BEST PEN PALS TURN INTO SISTERS

When I started pen paling, I did not realize that I would meet some pals that would turn out to be soul sisters!!! I CANNOT IMAGINE MY LIFE NOW WITHOUT THESE WOMEN IN IT!!! I truly love my pen pals. It fills a void in my life!

I began to pen pal about 10 months ago. I started on web sites and many that I wrote either came back or I never heard from them. I did get a few that still write today. But I was getting discouraged when I ran into a few pals that told me about some groups and I met alot more really nice pals through these groups.

I now have at least 75 pals, some write all the time, some write occasionally and that's fine... and that's plenty to keep me busy, and believe it or not, I do stay caught up!!!

All my pals are snail mail. I don't like e-mail that well. All of them are US pals but I do have one in the UK.

I am very dedicated to my pen pals and I always write. They all have a special place in my heart and I enjoy them all.
