Joyce in RedYou are truly giving a gift that matters when you take the time to remember people in your life and express it in writing to them.  Recently I was re-reading some cards and letters my dad had sent me a long time ago. Hmmmm...I even have cards from when I was born...now that is really a long time ago.  Why do people keep cards? I believe because the receiver has the same need we all do and that is to feel valued.

Receiving a heartfelt card can be cherished for years.

MilitaryStarting this fall and throughout the holiday season, the Red Cross is working with Pitney Bowes, a mail stream technology company, to collect and distribute holiday cards to American service members, veterans and their families in the United States and around the world. JoyceVentures supports this effort through the use of the company, SendOutCards.  Go to this link to send a card for free. http://www.sendoutcards.com/getconnected

 

 

Dancing Young Man1. Choose Your Life

Whether you realize it or not, you are the hero of your story. At the end of your life all you’re going to be left with is a story made up of events and experiences.

As I reflect, I can hear my son upstairs making some bumping noises while there is classical music playing. Then the phone rings with a telemarketer and I can feel the yet-to-be washed laundry and unmade bed calling my name.

If you work at home, you know how hard it is to maintain focus and get real work done.
