Resolution New You #12 - Make it personal

These days many of us communicate via email, Facebook, or my favorite,  texts. However, you can't hear a laugh, see a smile, or feel a hug with electronic communication. The smiley face icon, the multiple exclamation points, and the electronic greeting card just doesn't compare to the real deal.  To be a better you in the new year, make your communication more personal - send a card, pick up the telephone, schedule a lunch. It will make a difference to the person receiving it and you will feel good about what you did. Also, get in the habit of sending out greeting cards again.  To the right is a "special occasion book."  You can fill the book at the beginning of every year with cards for the people you want to remember - available at Hallmark Stores.
