Young British poet Jodi Ann Bickley found herself with a lot of time on her hands after contracting a serious illness, and as part of her rehabilitation while she learned to walk and write again, she began the One Million Lovely Letters project. She's since sent more than a thousand encouraging letters to people all over the world.
