Reunited and it feels so good ♫

It’s official – we are now in business. We finally sent out an introduction of our company to all our friends and family. Most of them had a vague idea what we were doing over here, but now, everyone is well-informed and ready to call on us in a writing emergency.

While we were starting up our business, we heard over and over that we should be spreading the word to everyone we know. We admit, we were shy about it. We didn’t want to be pushy or sales-y. But we learned you don’t have to be.

Our communication of choice was an email newsletter. It slipped into email boxes around the world during the night. It greeted our friends first thing in the morning as they checked email. Their choice to read it or delete it. It was not a forceful introduction – it was a friendly one.

Our intentions were pure. We really just wanted to share our news with all the great people in our lives, to keep the relationships going. My litmus test was, “how would I feel if I received the same kind of email from them?” If it brought a smile quicker than a shrug, that person made the list.

The response has been overwhelming. Such positive thoughts, such supportive words. It’s really a confidence booster. That’s a good enough reason to put yourself out there. We all need compliments and love to keep us going. And these great people in your life are happy to give it.

So if you’re shying away from of the “tell everyone you know” theory, please don’t. Sharing that piece of yourself, something that personal, will have a hugely positive impact on your relationships. It’s scary, but worth it.


~ Of course, a special thank you to all our friends and family for your support and goodness. We could not have done it without you!
