A weekly letter from Carla Wethers Bell

A little sunshine in your mailbox every week.

A real letter, mailed to you every week, like a visit from a friend.

Yes, I'd love a letter! Send one as a gift

Sign up by November 5 and your first letter arrives around November 13.

Hello Sunshine!

When was the last time you got a real letter? Not a bill or an ad, but a letter from someone who sat down and thought about you.

An email gets read and deleted. A letter gets kept.

I made these letters for people like you and me: people who pour everything they have into everything they do, and into everyone in their lives, and need their own reserves restored. They're informational, inspirational and just plain FUN.

With love and sunshine,

Carla

P.S. Guess what? One of these letters might arrive on exactly the day you need it.

Questions

Good questions.

When will my first letter arrive?

Sign up by November 5 and your first letter will be in your mailbox around November 13. After that, a new letter comes every week.

How much is it, and is postage included?

$29 a month, or $290 for a whole year (12 months for the price of 10). Postage is included either way.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. For the yearly membership, you can choose to pay in installments at checkout with Klarna, Affirm or Afterpay.

Can I stop anytime?

Yes. Monthly members can stop anytime: just email us before your next payment date and you won't be charged again.

What about December?

December's four letters arrive together in one special package, one letter for each week, so you can open them as the month goes by.

I only want the daily Sunshine messages. Is that okay?

Of course. The Sunshine Circle daily messages are free, and you'll find each day's message on the Today's Sunshine page. The letters are here whenever you'd like a little more.

Who are the Founding Members?

Everyone who takes the yearly membership between November 1 and 5, plus the friends who have been with me since the very beginning. Founders get a Founder's mug, a birthday card with a little gift every year, and 15% off my workshops, special events and Infinite Possibilities training.

How do gifts work?

Choose "Send one as a gift" and give us the name and mailing address of the person you'd like to surprise. Gift letters begin in January.

Is my information safe?

Yes. We only ask for what we need to mail your letters: your name, mailing address and email. Payments go through Stripe, a secure payment company, so we never see or keep your card number. We never sell, rent or share your information with anyone. Gift addresses are used only to mail the gift. The daily Sunshine texts go to each person individually, so no one sees your number, and reading the daily message asks nothing of you. To have your information removed, just email sunshine4thespirit@gmail.com.

I moved, or I have a question. Who do I write to?

Email sunshine4thespirit@gmail.com or call or text 773-603-7181, and we'll take care of you.
