Ah, Why Not Say Thank You!

Thank You! It would appear as though the custom of giving thanks has disappeared over time. Sending a personalized thank you note was once habitual for both personal and business circumstances, but now the majority of people presume it's enough to offhandedly whip up an email with a quick "thanks" before getting back to their active day to day lives. Now don't take this the wrong way. I realize that the world is more fast paced than it was at one time and many people barely have time to sit and catch their breath, but if you think about it, that only gives you that much more reason to send a sincere thanks. Seeing as how we've become less accustomed to getting a formal thank you, it makes a much greater impact when we do receive one. It certainly is a lovely surprise to see that someone took the effort to say "thanks." I haven’t even mentioned the effect it can make on your business. In taking a second to give a personalized thank you, you can express to your customer how valuable their business is to you. By developing personal friendships with your customers, you are guaranteeing their confidence and giving them a reason to do business with you as opposed to your competition. If I still haven’t convinced you that sending a thank you gift or note is worth the effort, why not think about sending something that takes little to no time at all? Sending flowers or a gift basket from an online source takes about as long as sending an email, yet gives a much better impression. Gift like Godiva Treats Basket Do you want to say thank you?

Easter today Compared to 100 years ago

The resurrection of Christ is what Easter is all about also making it the ultimate essential of all Christian holy days. However, at this time the meaning of the holiday is covered by decorated eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall at any time between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday following the full moon. Easter is also connected to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Bunnies and eggs and Easter? Well the bunny is a well know sexual image of fertility. Religions associated with Babel relate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is related with the moon. Therefore, the Easter rabbit symbolizes the Mother Goddess and is related with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Colored Easter eggs are a part of the festivities too that came from the egg which was a sanctified symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a amazing size egg plummeted from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was born. It makes you wonder how many of us actually think about the true meaning of this holiday apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has developed to be another retail holiday and over commercialized. However, it is a time for families to come together and observe the day. Kids love Easter for the presents, candy and most of all the egg hunting which could be enjoyed by the adults as well.
