It's been almost six months since I left my job and I miss the relationships that I developed over the past ten years the most. I knew that I didn't want those friendships to end. Before I left, I wrote down my co-workers birthdays. I was lucky enough to have access to the system so I didn't have to ask them specifically.
I sent an e-mail to one such co-worker. She asked, "How could you possibly know that? No-one knows!" I explained to her that I truly cared about her and I wrote down that date in my calendar. I wanted to be able to tell her that I wished her a happy birthday.
I have been on a few interviews but my true job and heart is at home with my son. He's 13 and it seems like the older he gets, the more he really needs me. I do miss those friendships and the adult times. But, it ends there. Family is more important.
Leo, my husband of 24 years joined a company called SendOutCards. He was enthusiastic about it and still is. I decided that I would join him in this venture. Since I'm at home, I would have more time to dedicate to this fabulous company.
SendOutCards is basically a company that believes just like I do that people matter. They are an online greeting card company. You can send a card in less than 60 seconds from your own computer. Plus, they will mail the card out for you with a real stamp. I know that this has been a lifesaver for me. Not only that, you can add pictures and send gifts. It's extremely convenient. One of my favorite parts of the system is the customer database. All the people I care about are all in one place on a server that I do not have ever worry about losing the data. I receive an email that a birthday is coming up. It's in plenty of time to log into the system and send out a card. They receive it on time.
There is so much more I can tell you about this company but the most important things that a person can do in their life is to let others know how much they really care.
On the right side of the blog (just under 'About The Kim Family'), there is a link called kimbocards, click on that link. It will guide you through the system. I recommend that you send the card to your spouse or child or even yourself so that you can see the results first hand. Or, I am more than happy to walk you through the process.
I would love to hear from you! Please feel free to comment or send me an e-mail.
I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes:
“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”
― John C. Maxwell
