Laugh Often

9/24/2017

You should laugh daily...

Picture
When I got this Hallmark card from my good friend, we laughed continuously for at least 30 minutes.  We walk almost everyday and often we stumble upon a word that she may pronounce one way and I may say another.  With me being from Northern Florida/Southern Georgia, it is very common. Is Data, DAY-TA or DAT-TA?  You may not have a friend that you can exercise and giggle with daily, but nonetheless, you have to find ways to laugh.  I once met a lady that said she just starts laughing for no reason at all; hmm.. I may feel a little weird doing that.  ​Laughter heals.  On days when all you want to do is cry, laugh instead.  Whether it is a loss of a love one or just a difficult time, think about all the wonderful times and laugh.  There are so many great memories we forget about when we are caught up in a moment or a decision. ​​ ​It is important to think about the good

 and LAUGH.  I have been married for 19 years, and I wish I could say it was "as easy as pie".  Our marriage has its daily challenges and tests, but one truly defined characteristic of our journey is laughter.  When I'm mad at my husband, I hide his keys - just kidding, but our frequent pranks and moments spent reminiscing do lighten the load.  

​Sometimes laughter just happens - a random joke or something you see pop up in your Facebook feed.  You can also initiate it. Play a favorite funny movie, like "Christmas with the Kranks".  On another thought, did you know there is an online university that specializes in laughter?  YEP, that tops it all, and there are many different organizations that use laughter for therapy! Here are some of my favorite quotes from LOU, www.laughteronlineuniversity.com:
  • A good laugh heals a lot of hurts. — Madeleine L’Engle
  • A good laugh is sunshine in the house. — William Thackeray
  • Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand. — Mark Twain
  • Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. — Lord Byron
  • Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. — W. H. Auden
  • Earth laughs in flowers. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
In closing, remember these 3 L- Words:   LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH.  Never underestimate the power of laughter.

Hurricane Irma

Florida - September 2017

Picture
Almost a year from the day Hurricane Matthew stalked the east coast of Florida, we endured Hurricane Irma.  The timing was similar, but the characteristics were very different.  I recall Matthew being a "fast-moving" hurricane - from the start of the wind and rain to the quiet end was only about 6-8 hours.  In both, I could hear the wind battling with the outside structure of our house.  Rain droplets traveling almost parallel to the ground.  Trees and objects were tugged back and forth.  Patio Furniture rocking uncontrollably.  Irma's huge size made the news of a more westerly shift hard to swallow as the roof vents sang songs of her arrival.  Fear intensified as we understood that we will be taking on the east side of her counterclockwise spin first to start her nearly two full days of attack. 
A few hours into her dance, we lost power.  Luckily, it was at night so the house remained cool until morning. Our windows were covered in plywood, so it was difficult to tell the time of day without a clock. Text messages from family and friends drained the last of my cellphone power. Irma's wrath continue on throughout the day.  Inside the house, the temperature was rising.  The darkness of the house and the smell of wet air promoted a sense of uncertainty.  A tiny hole in the plywood showed the last breath of  a fading day.  Night fell again, but it brought little relief from the enclosed heat.  We tried our best to sleep through the screaming and howling winds.  

The next morning, I awake to see a small dot of sunlight on my hand.  The wind was still intense, but it seemed we were on the final stretch.  While the last power bar faded away on my husband's phone, we finally got the

weather App's confirmation of safe passage - the longest hours of my life.  Relieved to have only lost our outdoor shed and some small items, we chatted with our neighbors about the ordeal.  It took two additional days for our power to return, but many in other parts of Florida remain powerless for days.  We were truly blessed. We were able to grab enough supplies before the storm.  Others were not so lucky. Stores were selling out of water as soon as they received deliveries.  Shelves were empty of all the typical supplies and non-perishable food items.  Our stores are still not fully stocked, and many Floridians in critical areas in South Florida remain without power and/or are unable to return to their homes. 
It saddens me to say that Hurricane Maria caused even greater devastation - pounding already compromised areas of the Caribbean, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, and others.  They really need our help and prayers. I cannot imagine what their lives are like at this moment.  My experience was so mild compared to what they have faced and are going to be facing.  Likewise, we cannot forget Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane Harvey or the earthquake in Mexico. Whether you lost all the food in your refrigerator or have to replace a shed or clear a fallen tree, please try to do what you can for others.  I am so thankful to be alive, but my ordeal cannot begin to compare.  Here is the link to Red Cross' Website.  Join us in helping others in their time of need.  Donate to Red Cross.  ​https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation

Building your brand is a necessity. 

​What do you say and how do you say it?

Shop Business Items
Got a WEBSITE or Facebook page?
​If you do, then...use a contact form on your website to provide a coupon or advertise specials. Facebook has a free store that can be set up so people can buy products from you directly.  If you do not sell products, then offer a discount on a service. Get people excited about what you offer!  Let us get a website started for you, set up a Facebook page, or add a contact form to your website.

Be Creative!
​Car Magnets may not be your thing, but they work miracles for me. I was at the stop light the other day, and I looked over and the person in the passenger seat was on my website. It is amazing what you can do in the 25 seconds at a stoplight.  Also, be sure to have business cards and postcards handy.  You can also add a code to your business card to make calling or visiting your business more appealing.
​Online VS Face-to-Face
There are no limits to obtaining customers. Who is your ideal customer?  Everyone!  Whether you are an online business or market to your family and friends, building your brand is of great importance to expanding your customer base.
Do you know that some businesses do not have websites?  Some only advertise on one social media outlet. Well, as a business owner, I have found many challenges to limiting my customer channel to only one specific method.

Be a WALKING Advertisement!
​Everywhere I go, I wear my t-shirt and carry my tote bag.  Without saying a word, people become familiar with your company name.  When I least expect it, someone will stop me in the store and ask, "Do you help people with ...?"  Before you know it, you have a customer without any effort.
Whatever you decide to do to  build your brand, GO FOR IT!
