"Birth may be a matter of a moment, but it is a unique one." ~ Frederick Leboyer
In 1999, I received an unexpected phone call from a marketing guy in Richmond, Virginia who asked me how many people were signed up for this newsletter. Proudly...because every single name is a celebration to me...I said, "806."
He replied, "Is that all?"
Before rushing to end the phone call, he advised me to remove "passion" from the subject line for sexual filter purposes and make the "free newsletter" offer more prominent on my website.
I hung up thinking "Thanks
I think."
MANIFESTATIONS OF INCUBATION...
"Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed." ~ William Jennings Bryant
I've been writing this newsletter for about a year. Each week, about 25 new people sign up for it. At that rate, I'll signed up 1,300 more people each year.
MAKE THE COMMON APPEAR NOVEL
"It is the great triumph of genius to make the common appear novel." ~ Johann von Goethe
"Anything the human mind can believe, the human mind can achieve." ~ Napoleon Hill
Dear Lenore, my daily celebrations email buddy, sends me wonderful encouragement. She says, "Put more of yourself into the newsletter. It makes it more special." Another friend, Tammy, likes that each newsletter revolves around a common theme.
Writing this newsletter is EASY. It generally writes itself. I feel I'm writing to friends who visit Daily Celebrations, like it, and want more. The newsletter has evolved into an ever-growing heart-to-heart communication.
NEW CHALLENGES...
Please know that I guard your email addresses with a passion. My readers matter greatly to me. I will never sell my list and only send this newsletter to subscribers. And although it pains me to lose you, I allow for easy unsubscription.
My mother used to rhetorically ask, "Do you think I'm doing this for my health?" Well, Mom, in this particular instance, I'm doing this for MY health. It makes me feel good to send out this newsletter.
I live for challenges. And the mere fact that you've gotten to the end of this email is VICTORY for me. And the beauty of the Internet is that we can remain connected no matter who or where we are.
Let me know how you're doing
... and share dailycelebr-20s with others!
