I’ve utilized quite a few different methods to spread the word about ‘My Very Own Mail’. One of those methods, which I didn’t feel was very successful, but, that I really liked, was promotional pens. They were so cute! I have one left, and I keep it on my desk in my George Strait ‘pen cup’. The funny thing was, for promoting personalized letters for children, I didn’t often feel the opportunity presented itself to hand them out, and also, explain what they were promoting. I would sometimes put them in the packages for the children, but, that made me nervous, as some of the children were probably too young to be wandering about the house with pens. That is a relative call, though, as we all handle that with our kids differently – even differently amongst our own children. (Yes, my daughter -third child- ate french fries before she was even one! Heehee!) So, although I personally liked it, I don’t think it was a method that was very helpful.

I was part of an online community once that was all about helping women with their small businesses. It was a really cool community, and I got a very neat suggestion there once. A girl had seen an ad on Amazon for toy mailboxes and she thought that would be a great addition to ‘My Very Own Mail’! Isn’t that a cute idea? And a perfect combination – for me to sell personalized letters and toy mailboxes? I thought it was just adorable – and I couldn’t believe it was so simple, and I had never thought of it! And then I never got around to it. Maybe one day I will. It sure would be neat if the mailboxes had my ‘My Very Own Mail’ logo on them, wouldn’t it? I guess that might be asking for too much, though! ;)

I was perusing the normal blogs upon my route this morning, when I happened upon a great post called, The Socratic Method, on my friend Cass’ blog. It is a super-cool, get the learners involved method of teaching! The teacher teaches by asking questions, leading the learners where they need to get to understand the concepts. The learners generally end up excited, and impressed with themselves for figuring out the answers. It is a way of learning that, I believe, can cement ideas in people’s brains! It is discovery and learning all at once!

I am learning all that I can about blogging, and there is a blog conference coming up in June that I really want to go to. It’s called PostieCon and it’s in Orlando, Florida on June 1 and 2. My blogging friends and I are trying to figure out how we can go, but, we are not sure if we will be able to afford the trip. We are thinking, if we do go, about sharing an Orlando vacation rental, so the cost won’t be so high. I know that I would learn so much there that would really help with my blogging, but, I might just have to wait until next year’s conference. Hopefully by then, I will have generated enough income to save up for it!

I have never been to Las Vegas, but, I think it would be so much fun! And the funny thing is that, I was never really interested in it until my brother took me to Lubbock, Texas! How weird is that? I know – I’m a goofball, but, just hear me out. Lubbock was a dry town, so they couldn’t sell any alcohol in liquor stores in the town. So right outside of town, on the other side of the freeway, was a place where all the liquor stores were and you pass under the underpass, and then – BAM! There they all are, in bright and pretty-colored lights – all lined up in a row alongside the highway! It was the coolest thing. And everyone told me how it was so much like Las Vegas – like a ‘mini Las Vegas’. And ever since then, I have thought that it would be really cool to see Las Vegas. And wouldn’t it be cool to go there and stay in some Las Vegas luxury condos? Fancy schmancy!! And have a limousine take us everywhere? That sounds totally awesome!
