Mar 9, 2009 I got this question from a new customer and thought I’d share it with you:
I wanted ask you a question about the cards. Are they all blank cards inside? I’m not a great inspirational writer and I thought the cards that (are ready-made) also have notes inside the cards as well as outside like normal cards you would get from stores.
I answered with this:
When I joined, I always searched for the cards that had sayings too, but as time went by, I discovered that the saying in the card wasn’t as important as the fact that I took the time to send the card! I found that just by saying something like, “I was thinking of you today…” meant more than the greatest card poet to my friends or family because it was sent from my heart.
Maya Angelou once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.
I’ve found this statement to be so true in the time I’ve been sending cards. People email, call and will even respond with a card of their own! Cards really do touch lives ~ we can touch them, feel them, pin them up on the wall and/or keep them forever in an album.
Remember feelings that come over us when looking through old photo albums, scrapbooks and yearbooks? Memories come flooding back, filling us with emotions…. We laugh and sometimes cry. We own these feeling, which help us get in touch with who we are today.
Touch a life!

We are well into February already! Where are the weeks going? For those who keep up with our Blog, you have probably noticed Sandy has done quite a bit of blogging. I have been without a computer for practically an entire month. What a hassle that had been! Thinking the problem was just a simple thing…maybe just my monitor needing to be replaced, I was sadly mistaken. That was not what happened, as the Mother Board went completely down. Days went into weeks without a computer. Geez, how I hated to go to the local library once or twice a week! There was a frigid period during that time frame! It was definitely my living nightmare! However, I did end up getting a new Dell system, and thanks to my niece Shelly, I now have my “Life-Line” up and running once again! I am a happy camper once again! I am sitting here enjoying seeing the sunshine outside and loving I won’t need to schedule bus rides to the library anytime soon! I wonder how many of you take for granted the ability of using the telephone or just hop in your car to call or go somewhere? Both Sandy and I face challenges head on and deal with each situation the best we know how. Our computers ARE our link to the world. When we talk about our greeting card business, we know there are other individuals out there that could use the system, just as much as we do. We log in daily and write notes that will touch those we know may need encouragement or a friendly smile! As Sandy just wrote a couple days ago, February 14th is approaching all too quickly. Why not click on either website and send an unexpected card to someone you are thinking about. Believe me…you will put a smile on their face! |

May 26, 2008 I, Sandy, purchased Dan Robey’s book, “The Power of Positive Habits”. Along with the book I receive daily positive habits to improve my life. The following habits fits so well with this blog, I felt compelled to share it with you.
Give Your Loved One Greeting Cards on a Regular Basis
Benefits
Here is another good habit for men to acquire. Most men hate the idea of giving cards, but author Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D., an expert on relationships says “Think of cards as foreplay.” She also says, “Every survey response I received contained a reference to cards.”
It is apparent that women love cards, so make it a habit to give them regularly. Get creative: you can give her romantic cards, funny cards, you can even make up a card. Your benefits from this habit will be quite obvious. Try it and see.
Triggers
Buy an assortment of greeting cards and keep them in the glove compartment of your car or a desk drawer at work.
Great habit, right? I have a few additions to make this habit universal for all people!
If you’ve been reading this blog regularly, you are aware that you don’t need a glove compartment full of cards to easily form this habit. You can sign up at http://www.sandysendfreecard.com and get an account to send cards in 60 seconds from your computer!

May 13, 2008 This post was made by Sylvia Hill to a Yahoo Group we are both in. She was discussing the great power in showing appreciation to those around you. A simple smile to a passer-by can change the mood, even the life of that person!
I responded with: I love your post, Sylvia! Being in appreciation and Gratitude throughout each day creates a greater awareness of all that’s going on around you.
I am in a business that fosters the showing of gratitude and appreciation, sending impromptu cards. By doing this, you lift the Spirit of your recipients plus your Spirit is lifted because you are sending Appreciation/Gratitude into the Universe.
Sylvia’s responded with: Sandy ~
how wonderful to hear from You! Thanks for your reply. I so agree that being thankful and expressing it is a tremendous gift to ourselves and others and that the key is being aware of all there is to be thankful for.
Truly I get overwhelmed sometimes at the beauty all around me and taking it all in….. the people…. nature….. architecture….. the sun,….. the moon…. the stars. It is an abundance of wealth.
Expressing thanks in writing elevates the vibration of that thought. I love your cards and am touched when I receive one. How special, the thought that someone takes their precious time to bless me with a card!
Thanks for what you do, Sandy! It is a true blessing!

May 1, 2008 Dan Robey’s book, “The Power of Positive Habits”, is a tremendous book to help anyone change their daily habits to create a more positive life for themselves and their families. The following article come his “The Best of Positive Habits.”
Everyone needs Sincere Appreciation
There is one thing that everyone in the world needs from time to time.
To be appreciated.
Here is a simple little habit that will show someone you love that you sincerely appreciate who they are, and what they mean to you.
Buy some Post-It notes and leave simple messages of appreciation in places where the notes will easily be seen by people you care about.
Here is an example:
Husbands can place Post-It notes on bathroom mirrors, in cars, or other places where their wives will likely see them. Write simple notes like; “I Love You,” “You looked beautiful at dinner last night,” “Thanks for taking such good care of our children,” Etc.
It is amazing how much better we all feel when we know that we are sincerely appreciated.
Leave positive message notes for your children, co-workers, friends, family, waiters, waitresses, the possibilities are endless. Just carry a package of Post-it notes with you for one day and use your imagination.
Make someone feel better about themself today!
Wishing you Continued Success!!
Dan Robey

Mar 23, 2008 Happy Easter everyone! Besides finding colorful eggs and yummy chocolate bunnies, I find Easter to be a day of renewal. Even with Easter coming early this year (not to be this early again for some 228 years), I sense signs of spring! The sun is higher in the sky, days are longer, the snow is melting and there’s an excellent probability there won’t be any more below zero temperatures in Minnesota for at least 6 months!
A friend led me to a blog today, spurring on my inner renewal. The blog, http://simplyqna.blogspot.com/, is a beautiful collection of quotations my various people. Reading through the entries, I was reminded of people in my life who needing comforting, hope or just a “hello” from me. I immediately opened my website and sent 3 greeting cards! I realized that I am so fortunate to be able to act on my promptings the moment they hit me using inspirational cards.
Something else dawned on me too from this experience on this Easter, 2008. I’m doing exactly what I want to do. I’m giving of myself to others, uplifting their spirits and showing I care.
I am renewed. I feel good. I urge you to read Monique’s blog and get inspired!

Mar 20, 2008 Greeting cards are indeed one of the best ways to reach out and touch the person to whom you wish to convey love. Love is one of the greeting card industry’s best friends. Love sells products. Love sells words and images. Love even sells colors.
When you give cards, you give emotions. Love is the strongest emotion.
The love that is shown with a simple greeting card can start a relationship that will last a lifetime. Whether it be a friendship-only type of love or a relative reconnecting with another relative after a long absence of closeness, or the most common love of a couple seeking that special bond, a greeting card can play a big part.
Anytime a greeting card is given to someone who is in pain, it shows a love of someone who cares. When a person is hospitalized for a life-long illness, a greeting card can be a daily reminder, placed by the bedside, that the person is not alone in their suffering. When someone has suffered a hurt with another kind of pain, the pain of losing someone loved to death or separation, a greeting card can show a tender love of compassion. When someone has hurt feelings, a greeting card can show a love from empathy or a request for forgiveness. When a small child has been separated from their parent, grandparent, sibling, or even a best friend, a greeting card can send love across the miles. Love is the most tender of emotions.
The pictures on a greeting card can show love to introduce the caring that is placed inside with the words of the card. It helps clarify and create the mood when a greeting card has a loving picture as a preview to the feelings inside. The card may even help melt a hardened heart that has closed itself off to love.
Never underestimate the power of a greeting card meant to send a bit of love. While some scoff at the simple act of a card given, others depend upon the card’s power to smooth the way for a deeper relationship with the recipient. A person’s favorite colors, favorite flowers, favorite animals, or a hobby shown on the front of the card can touch something inside their hearts or jog a long-lost fond memory. The person then opens the card and may smile if a smile has not yet been forthcoming. Once they read the words that were chosen with care, it will seal the mood. After that, it is often only a bit of time before a phone call or letter or even an email of much awaited thanks will evolve. Once more, love is revived and celebrated.
Greeting cards….so simple and yet a saving grace for many. It should jog the memory to recall the nervousness with which the first greeting card was given by a shy teen to a sweet first love. Maybe the memory is of a lonely elderly person trying to find a soul-mate after years of missing their spouse. Whatever the memory, you can bet there is a greeting card involved somewhere along the line!
And greeting cards can be kept forever, to allow the reliving of a cherished moment over and over….
