Marketing Tip:
***This will make you see red***
For two-color direct mail packages, red is usually the best choice for the second color. The reason: a growing body of scientific literature on the effects of color indicates that red is exciting for people -arousing - while blue and green are calming.

Lets all of us get aroused at Christmas.

"No Man Is An Island."
I hope that each and everyone of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and was able to spend time with loved ones. We have approached the time of the year that passes by so quickly but for many it can also be the most lonely time.
Let us all enter "The Christmas Season" with a positive attitude and do our best to look at the "sunny side of life". If we look at everything it is evident that we are more fortunate in some way than someone around us. Please help the the loved ones that are having a rough time.
In the last few years, I let my life lead me away from someone that, at one time, was my best friend and had helped me through some rough times. I was going through a rough marriage and divorce but this person was one that stuck by me and helped me more than he actually knew. If one of us played for a dance, the other played for the same dance. We always went together.
During the Thanksgiving holiday the phone rang and my present wife told me that a man wanted to speak with me and she didn't know who it was. To my suprise, it was my friend from the past with some disturbing news.
His life has been considerably more than pleasant for the last couple of years. It was a feeling that I can't explain when I heard the voice on the other end of the phone line. It was great to hear the voice but I felt bad that he has been through so much and I knew nothing about.
I had been concentrating so much on my own problems and life that I had forgotten the ones that really cared.
This is probably a lesson that I really needed.
Don't forget your friends and people that have helped you. We live and learn the hard way. Being self centered has been the downfall of many a person.
Whatever he thinks, "No Man Is An Island".
"God bless and help you have a wonderful Christmas season". Remember what it is all about!!
We Love all of you but remember "We still function like humans".

Back to Posting
Its been quiet a while since out last post but we hope to find more time in the future.
With the warm weather we have been spending less time in front of the computer and more working on other things. We have spent more time in the doctors office. Guess this just comes with age.
We have done some additional writing for our main website and have been able to add a great deal of related content.
We added a new page of mostly IM Resources. All are great resources and some of them are free. Check them out: IM Resources
