I love to save notes...have a file at home & pin them on a huge bulletin board at our office.
But, if you want to be a stand out these days...there's one SURE FIRE way to do it...
WRITE A NOTE!
There's something very special about this practice....
- Open your box of beautiful custom notecards, peel back the tissue paper & gaze.
- Take a deep breath for the first time in your insane day.
- Focus for 5 minutes.
- Put pen to paper & express yourself.
It's self-expression staring back at you in an instant & it's your signature style going out into the world, person to person.
My favorite notecards are from IOMOI...aren't they swell?
I'll admit, the nuttier my life has become with busy hubby + child, growing business, social media, & just down-right forcing a little me time...my note writing practice has suffered. But, I intend to resume this practice pronto & if I don't have anyone to thank, then I'm going to write said person to let them know of my admiration & love (can't imagine I wouldn't have someone to thank). Otherwise, those beautiful notes are just collecting dust!
Come on...it takes 5 minutes to write that note...give yourself a goal..one a day, one a week..promise you'll benefit too!
If you've really slipped & don't have a box to open, here are some of my favorite picks...notecards have come a long way baby!
From Sugar Cookie Cards, love, owner, Ashley Baine...she rocks!
And, it doesn't have to be all serious & formal. The point is to connect on a human level (that doesn't involve technology) & exercise a little old-school charm...what's better? Bet someone will THANK YOU for their THANK YOU note next time they see you!
We'll talk soon,
Gwen
