An idea one day, reality the next: Mea Campbell's The Letterbox Project

I was unaware of the work of today’s guest until only a week or two ago. Mea Campbell of Connected AU is real go-getter. You’ll know what I mean when you hear her story.

Last year, Tarnished by drought, her husband and young family made the tough decision to leave the community of Burren Junction in far western New South Wales and relocate to Dubbo.

I mean as if a big move with your family isn’t enough – pretty much as soon as they’d arrived Mea, who a qualified lawyer and a legal writer, began her next hugely successful venture – The Letterbox Project , a social enterprise connecting lonely and isolated people via letters. This project has 13000 people signed up and an average of about 550 letters sent each week.

I’m so genuinely enthralled by Mea’s story – and I admire her ability to have an idea and action it straight away. I have many ideas – that never see the light of day – so perhaps I need a but more Mea in my life!
