Graphic of woman with her hair in a bun, wearing a red suit, holding a sign with an envelope on it and the @ sign on the letter in it.

Surely our marketing hasn’t sunk to the level of trite openings, lifeless sign-offs, and mundane messaging. Or has it?

Running in Place

I keep reminding myself that the opposite of inertia is motion. Even if you’re just running in place.

A bright blue sky above white fluffy clouds, as seen from an airplane.

It’s true that “you can’t breathe in all that life has to offer if you’re holding your breath in fear.” So in spite of setbacks that are scary, I’m going to keep breathing.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the key to happiness. And when you share it with others, you help lift the whole world. Who knows whose life you might impact simply by being grateful?
