How do you reach out to a former professor for casual contact, If at all?

Taken from a previous post of mine:

I had a really wonderful professor a few semesters ago that really changed my perspective about life. In private she taught us so many life lessons and I’m so grateful to have had her as my professor. I miss her. 

Now today:

I was thinking maybe I should reach out, I’m not really sure how. Some professors have stated professors like keeping in touch while others don’t. 

Any tips for effective communication here would be helpful!  Or general tips !

Email her.  Professors absolutely LOVE to hear from students like you.  It’s a hard and often thankless job and what makes it 100% worth it is those (for me) rare moments when we see we can make a genuine difference to someone.
