Happy Monday!
I want to notify all of you of some updates that are happening, mainly in the way that I am going to be publishing articles and drawings. Don’t worry, I’m just switching some things around so it opens up more of my schedule.
First of all, as you can see, I’m going to start publishing my Blog on Monday. It doesn’t change anything for you except that it won’t be coming out on Thursdays anymore.
Next, I’m going to be publishing the Newsletter on Friday of each week. There’s a lot of technical stuff in here, but it is easier for me to just get that done after all the work that I do for my readers and clients, that way I can use it as a wrap up of the week and try to send my readers, you, off with a positive note for the weekend.
Finally, something new! Since the majority of my readers for the Cartoons and Blog have some way of interacting with me throughout the week, I’m going to start a new little “game” where you can get free handmade cartoons from me. I am going to call it, “the passcode.“ It will be a section that starts appearing in my Newsletter (if you are not a reader of my weekly newsletter, you can sign up here, otherwise you won’t be able to participate!). I constantly hear from many of my readers that my work makes them have a better outlook on the day and I want to help expand that for them. I will be publishing a secret code in my Newsletters and if you communicate it back to me WORD FOR WORD, either face to face, text, or even emailing it back to me, and telling me HOW you are making your mark, I will give you a little signed piece of work just to pat you on the back for doing something nice for someone else.
You see, it’s not enough that we just put good words OUT into the world, that’s not “making your mark,” that’s just throwing something at the wall and seeing if it sticks.
If you and I are to truly make a difference in our day … in other’s days, we must put those words into action. Holding the door open for someone, remembering somebody’s name, checking in on somebody, even a kind word, is just lightening somebody else’s burden with simple actions.
That’s the entire point of this Blog. I do all of this to make others smile, or reflect, and to let others know they are not alone. I know all of my Newsletter contacts and all my social media readers can do this. I know that many of you come to this Blog to have a dose of positivity because you are carrying a load and it’s nice to have just a little quiet place to make you remember “you can do this” so let’s do it.
So, sign up for my Newsletter, get the secret code, share it with me and get something in return.
As easy as pen to paper.😀
I’ll talk to you next week,
Now go “make your mark!”
