How SendOutCards makes me a rock star with my family, friends and customers.

I’ve always been a greeting card lover – in fact I have a whole drawer full of cards I’ve collected over the years. I’ve even sent a few to their intended recipients – well more than a few. It’s important to me to stay in touch with the people in my life, and to regularly let them know how much I appreciate and celebrate them. But in the last couple of years, as I have become busier with my entrepreneurial activities, I started noticing that despite my good intentions, those cards just weren’t getting written and sent. Hence the drawer full.


Getting it to the post-office.....
I mean, what’s so hard about writing and mailing a card, right? Well the fact is that many of us just get so busy in our daily lives that we simply can’t seem to find the time to find and buy that perfect card, sit down to write it, locate a stamp, and actually get the card to the post-office on time. That’s certainly what happened to me!

So easy peasy
Then I discovered SendOutCards … and now I can sit down in front of my computer, choose the perfect card from a selection of thousands, or create my own card with those great pictures I took, customize it with my own uploaded handwriting or signature, and voila! With a few clicks of my keyboard the card is on its way… and SendOutcards prints it, stuffs it, stamps it and mails a real actual card.

So, how do I use it? You name it – birthdays, anniversaries, get well, thank you, congratulations, reminders, follow-ups. Or just plain hello!

Why an Attitude of Gratitude can change your life

Simply put, focusing on gratitude makes me a happier, calmer and kinder person. Why? The experience of feeling grateful immediately shifts my focus from my head – with all its self-centered stories, annoying worries and self-defeating anxieties – to my heart. When I focus on gratitude, I feel good – my heart opens – and I start looking for more and more things, people and situations to be grateful for… it’s like a chain reaction of positivity. I become progressively happier, more relaxed, enthusiastic, optimistic, and resilient to stress.

Keeping a gratitude journal is a simple and effective way to increase our awareness of gratitude. It has been shown that even 5 minutes a day of simply writing down what you are grateful for that day has measureable and increasing benefits to your health and happiness.

What have you got to loose?

So just to give you an example; today I am grateful for the hawks nesting in our pine trees, the sound of the wind in the leaves, a lovely visit with my daughter, the bounty at the farmer’s market on saturday mornings, my new keens, the happy memory of our recent getaway to Lake Tahoe with my son and grand-daughters, a telephone chat with my mum 6,000 miles away in England. Once I get started… I could go on and on, and I become increasingly aware of just how much I have to be grateful for.
