My name is Kathy and I recently moved from Germany to the USA.

I have a new request: If you feel comfortable, please tell me your Covid story. Were you ill or do you know someone who was? Are/were you out of work, or working from home? What are your fears and hopes about a future with Covid in it?

I truly like all postcards but please do send a postcard :-). Any card is truly welcome but if you need ideas and have any on hand, these are my favorite things:

Birthday postcards in April and May
Christmas postcards and stamps, any time of year.
*special/colorful/beautiful stamps
*the Eurasian Blue Tit (die Blaumeise, Blåmeis, Mésange bleue, Pimpelmees, Niebieska (Cyanistes caeruleus)
*the European peacock butterfly (Aglais io)

*favorite illustrators include *Lisi Martin*, Nina Chen, Mila Marquis, Marjolein Bastin, Beatrix Potter, Jill Barklem (Brambly Hedge), Molly Brett, Evgenia Chistotina, Holly Pond Hill by Susan Wheeler, Charles Goulding, Garcia Arias/Juan Vernet, etc.

Social and civil rights issues - diversity, refugee & migration, anti-racism, disability rights, LGBTQ+ and women’s equality/parity
