It's All About The Thank You!

It's as though the craft of giving thanks has disappeared over time. Sending a hand written thank you note was once traditional for both professional and personal circumstances, but now a lot of people believe it's enough to casually shoot off an email with a quick "thanks" before returning to their demanding day to day lives. Now don't misunderstand me. I understand that the world is faster paced than it was at one time and the majority of people barely have a moment to sit back and catch a break, but if you think about it, that merely gives you that much more reason to send a genuine thank you. Now that we've we've become less conditioned to getting a proper thank you, it makes a much greater impact when we do get one. It certainly is a nice surprise to see that someone took the effort to say "thanks." I haven’t even mentioned the influence it can have on your business. By simply taking a second to give a personalized thank you, you can express to your customer how valuable their business is to you. By building personal connections with your customers, you are guaranteeing their loyalty and giving them a reason to do business with you instead of your competition. If I still haven’t convinced you that delivering a thank you gift or note is worth the time, why don't you consider sending something that takes hardly any time at all? Sending flowers or a gift basket from an online store takes about as much time as sending an email, yet leaves a much more significant message.

The How and Why We Celebrate Easter

Easter celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection, making it the ultimate essential of all Christian holy days. However, nowadays the meaning of the holiday is covered by colored eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall at any time between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday after the full moon. Easter is also connected to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Bunnies and eggs and Easter? Well the bunny is a well know sexual icon of fertility. Religions connected with Babel link the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is connected with the moon. Therefore, the Easter rabbit characterizes the Mother Goddess and is associated with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Dyed Easter eggs are a part of the activities too that came from the egg which was a holy symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a terrific size egg plummeted from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was hatched. It is something to think about how many of us seriously think about the true meaning of this holiday besides the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has developed to be another retail holiday and over commercialized. However, it is a time for families to join and celebrate the day. Kids love Easter for the presents, candy and most of all the egg hunting which could be enjoyed by the adults as well. Family member that are separated by geography many times send Giant Plush for Easter to their loved ones. Grandma and Grandpa send Filled Easter baskets for Kids to grandchildren. Daughter and sons mail Family Easter Basket to mom and dad and siblings far away.
