[gentle, happy music]
- I consider myself a cheerful person.
I think that my hobby alone kinda shows that.
? ?
My name is Katrina Lord
and I created Milwaukee Love Letters.
Milwaukee Love Letters is a project
where I create little notes to stash around town.
? ?
I create the love letters in my spare time.
It's a hobby.
And what I do is find quotes that inspire me:
positive quotes, sometimes silly quotes.
I like those too.
And then I write them on a postcard,
And then I decorate it.
Write a little message from anonymously MKE Love Letter.
And then I put it in the envelope,
stash it away somewhere in the city for someone to find.

C'mon Emmie.
I leave the love letters around little free libraries
as I m walking my dog around the town.
We go on lots of walks.
And then at coffee shops
or Milwaukee Public Market is another place
that I ll stash them around.
[thump of door opening]
[thud of door closing]
So I have an Instagram account, MKE Love Letter,
that I post the pictures of the cards
after I make 'em.
Then sometimes, after people find the letters,
they'll write on the comments section that they found it.
Or they'll send me a direct message on Instagram,
just letting me know that it brightened their day.

[shhh of paper rubbing paper]
It's just a fun hobby.
Simple as that.
I make one person smile, maybe they can make more people smile
and I think that, in itself, is priceless.
