Feb. 13th, 2009 11:10 amI just sent out my February newsletter for my business and since there were several free gifts, I thought I'd share the info with all of you guys, too:
A Little Bit of Wantonness
February 13, 2009 Volume 2, Issue 1
A Note From the Wanton Hussy:
Happy Friday the 13th! Yes, I said “happy” - 13 used to be a lucky number, not un-lucky. Remember the “baker’s dozen”? That extra cinnamon roll was for luck!
In keeping what that theme, this month’s offering is loaded with surprises, special offers, suggestions and other indulgences, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Recently a community I am part of has collectively given a wonderful gift to a friend in need. I had the honor of coordinating that gift and let me tell you, it’s changed my perspective on life. In a time when people are getting laid off, when the economy is frightening, when there are catastrophic ice storms in the Midwest United States and lethal wildfires in Australia, when people everywhere are afraid of what’s coming next and holding on to what they have – a group of fewer than fifteen women contributed $400 to help someone. The average contribution was under $20 per person - less than the cost of a movie, book, or a few drinks from Starbucks. But all together, it added up. It is amazing to see what we can all do when we cooperate!
The experience has given me a real incentive to do more for others. Not monetarily, but often the little things are more valuable. Like smiling at a homeless person, meeting their eyes and saying hello as you acknowledge them as someone who counts even if you don’t have any spare change. Helping the elderly, or a mother struggling with a small child, by retuning the cart from the parking lot back to corral. Writing letters for a worth cause like Planned Parenthood. Just being your wacky, sexy, love-filled self and sharing that with the world around you as you go about your day is the greatest of gifts.
The light is growing – help it spread!
