Custom Stamps Make Sending HOPE Even Better!

June 11th, 2010

I love my pooch. I love my friends and family.

Thanks to STAMPS.COM I was able to create my very own postage stamps with my dog’s photo on them!

I made custom postage stamps at STAMPS.COM!

A little help, two little THANK-YOUs

June 8th, 2010

Some friends really came to my aid on Friday night. So, they deserve a sincere thank-you — in writing!

Funny how just sending these little cards in the mail makes me feel SO much better than sending an email or txt message.

2 Thank You notes sent to friends for helping me out on Friday!

They’ll feel good when they get the cards too, and have something personal that says they matter to me.

What Is Happiness?

June 6th, 2010

In the most unlikely of places (a REALLY bad movie on TV) there was a piece of dialogue I loved.

Happiness is not getting what you want, it’s appreciating what you have.

Wonderful!

Am I The Worst HOPE Person Around? I hope not — and I will try to do more!

May 31st, 2010

Every day, I think of dozens of ways I could spread the Hope Is In The Cards message more.

But then I don’t do them.

I get distracted by work, by bills, by helping someone else.

I am going to really, really try to get better at practicing what I preach. June — let this be the biggest month of HOPE so far!

If you do something to spread HOPE, please let me know. Send a message to info@hopeisinthecards.org!
