			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are in the Giving season of the year for all people. While sending the last of my Holiday cards,  I reflected on  the Principle  of Giving.</p>
<p>The Principle of Giving says that every thing that you give out will come back to you 10 fold. By giving with a open heart, not expecting anything in return, amazing things will start happening to you.  This is a Law of the Universe. Chills are going up and down my spine as I write these words!</p>
<p>Just imagine for a moment&#8230;. Little things like a smile, a  hug that says &#8220;I love you&#8221; or  a &#8220;thank you&#8221; to say  &#8220;I appreciate you&#8221;. These gestures come from your heart, which is TRUE giving!</p>
<p>So celebrate this Season with a real Spirit of Giving , even though times may be trying and you may not  be able to give as in the past. May the Love, Blessing and Joy take hold of you in this Season of Giving, carrying you into the New Year~!</p>
<p>I am embracing 2010 with  a renewed gusto!</p>

Guess Mother Nature didn&#8217;t think we  are ready for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Daffodils</span> just yet. Do we need to reflect a bit more on where we are as individuals and where we want to be? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One of our colleagues, Meghan Joy was just voted off American Idol this week. Simon told her it was because she had commented that she didn&#8217;t care. Sandy thinks Meghan cared a lot; a lot about her style of singing. Perhaps Meghan discovered that she wanted to sing her songs, her way. If that meant leaving Idol, so be it.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We do know that the freshness of another season is on it&#8217;s way. Are we ready to take a  look at our lives and evaluate whether we need to take a fresh start or a slight detour?<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That can begin by reaching out to others. Easter is just a week away! Did you send out those cards yet or did you forget to buy them? We have your answer right here! No need to go to the store now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upgrading our card editor, like  upgrading/changing anything in life, hasn&#8217;t come without a few bumps and quirks. That goes without saying, right? From these unexpected challenges comes learning and understanding, the result being a better product or service!</p>
<p>I want to share with you the actions of our CEO when discovering a glitch that affected some card senders who&#8217;s cards did not get sent. In my case, I received  an email from the CEO, listing those  that didn&#8217;t  receive my cards. He went on to say that each one of those people would receive a personal card of apology from him, including a gift. Also, our personal accounts were reimbursed double that which was spent sending those cards!</p>
<p>Again, I ask you, would your boss do this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><small>by  <a title="Posts by Patty Gale" href="http://www.pattygale.com/author/Patty%20Gale/">Patty Gale</a> • Aug 28th, 2007 </small></p>
<p>What is stopping YOU from becoming successful?</p>
<p>I just listened to the most amazing audio I&#8217;ve listened to in a very long time. It&#8217;s not for sale, so don&#8217;t worry, there isn&#8217;t going to be pitch.</p>
<p>Seriously, though, think about this for a minute. If you have been &#8220;at this&#8221;, meaning your home business, for years now and are still struggling, you have got to ask yourself some serious questions why.</p>
<p>What is the difference between YOU and somebody else?</p>
<p>Why is it that &#8220;other people&#8221; seem to &#8220;make it&#8221; and some don&#8217;t?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not because of some &#8220;magic button&#8221; product, it&#8217;s not because of some &#8220;push button system&#8221; or some so-called latest and greatest tool.</p>
<p>Forget about &#8220;underachievers&#8221;, &#8220;the lazy way to riches&#8221; or any other lame marketing tactic that preys on your emotions.</p>
<p>Do you really want to be an underachiever and have people call you lazy?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal and pay close attention.</p>
<p>The difference between people who are struggling and people who are not is that those who are successful <em><strong>made a decision to be successful</strong></em>.</p>
<p>We all have 24 hours in a day, we all have circumstances and &#8220;stuff&#8221; that comes at us every single day.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s what YOU decide to do with that 24 hours and how YOU react to those circumstances which decides if you will move forward or stay behind.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  A simple decision to do whatever it takes to be successful.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how tall you are, how pretty you are or the kind of childhood you had. There are thousands of stories of famous and not-so famous people who decided to overcome their adversity.</p>
<p>Oprah Winfrey and Famous &#8220;Amos&#8221; immediately come to mind. &#8220;Sure, they&#8217;re famous&#8221; you may be thinking, but they weren&#8217;t always famous. They were both born into poverty and had horrendous childhoods, but they made a <strong>choice</strong> to overcome.</p>
<p>Then, there&#8217;s Sandy Morgan. Sandy Morgan is not so famous. She is an entrepreneur in a webased card company who was born with cerebral palsy. While she has very limited motor functions, yet she has 100% of her intellectual function. She can&#8217;t speak or walk, but she can use a keyboard.</p>
<p>Sandy may not be so famous, but she is very successful. She uses greeting cards to communicate with the world. She may not be able to use the spoken word with her mouth, but her brain and a computer allow her to use the written word.</p>
<p>I suppose if anybody has a reason to give excuses and live off of government assistance, it could be Sandy, but she chooses not to.</p>
<p>Sandy made a choice to be successful, to not live off of government handouts just because of her physical challenge. She uses Send-a-Card to build a business for herself. Go Sandy!</p>
<p>So, what is stopping YOU?</p>
<p>Life isn&#8217;t a dress rehersal. This is the real deal, folks. You either make the decision NOW or you don&#8217;t. One day, you&#8217;re going to wake up at 75 or 80 years old and the last thing you want to say to yourself is, &#8220;I wish I would have…&#8221;</p>
<p>You can either create results or create excuses.</p>
<p>Are you fired up yet?  I hope so because I know I am.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s it going to be?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I&#8217;m sad. I want to be in Utah today, giving support t0 my dear friend Kody and family, as they put Kody&#8217;s Mother to rest. Diane Bateman passed over Tuesday, February 26th.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kody knows the importance of keeping in touch with those you love, keeping lines of communication open. He also knows that keeping that open communication with clients/customers is good for business as well.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To quote Kody, </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;</span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>A prompting is a gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to others. When you read the stories of people in need, you will, likely, not know the person you are reading about. If you are prompted to send a card to that person, that is a gift to you. The card you send is your gift to that person. This is what sending out to give is all about.&#8221;<br />
</em></span></strong></p>
<p align="right"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>-Kody Bateman, CEO of Card Company</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Thanks, Kody, for  giving me the technology to communicate my gift! </strong></p>
<p><strong>Sandy</strong></p>
