Color Theory Applied to Presentations
Everyone knows that color can make a presentation more interesting and stimulating to look at. It can also convey information, as in the differently colored slices of a pie chart.But color used improperly is worse than no color at all. Bad color choices or combinations can actually distract viewers from your message and can even cause unpleasant feelings in them. The following guidelines can help you use color effectively in your presentations:• Too much color can be distracting. Resist the temptation to decorate your slides with a rainbow of colors. Graphic elements (such as

3) Collect pretty storage containers. Beautiful options abound! Be they beribboned baskets or miniature suitcases or papered boxes: all present wonderful options for holding all of these fine papers and accoutrements. Display them in full view so that you will remain inspired to delve into them frequently, pulling out your favorites and sending them for all different occasions.

Why Do I Want to Communicate?
Communication is the act of relaying ideas, concepts, advice and recommendations to people who want to hear from you or have reason to care.We’ll call the people who want to hear from you your clients. The people who have reason to care are your prospects.You want to communicate to inform, inspire or provide advice. Keeping your name in front of people is an end result not a reason. You build your business most effectively by communicating with a focused purpose.Take existing clients as an example.Instead of sending a message that says “Here’s the best deal

"What cannot letters inspire? They have souls; they can speak; they have in them all that force which expresses the transports of the heart; they have all the fire of our passions." Letter from Heloise to Abelard (from Gift of a Letter by Alexandra Stoddard)

Just returning from the National Stationery Show in New York City, I was struck by the energetic "forward motion" of the thousands of vendors still enthusiastic about the power of the hand-written note. Artists proudly displayed their watercolors on letterhead, invitations and place cards; sales reps extolled the creative spark of polka-dotted and beribboned stationery; and entrepreneurs remained full of hope that the power of the hand-written word might overtake the power of email. They all came out in full-force and crowded the aisles of the Javits Center in downtown Manhattan for the four-day event.

I walked for six straight hours, on a personal mission to nail down a packaging supplier for a new product I'll be launching this fall. Perusing the aisles and booths of the largest national trade show for the stationery and paper goods market, I came away with a few creative strategies for ROCKET MOMS everywhere:

1) Elevate your deskwork from boring to brilliant. Many of the near-daily tasks we are required to perform at our kitchen desks involve mundane and repetitive routines: paying bills; reconciling the checkbook; dealing with medical statements (ugh!); RSVP-ing to social invitations; and writing quick notes to teachers, carpool moms, coaches, etc. This stuff can bog you down...especially if you are a fun, sanguine personality type who holds general disdain for all things administrative. Take heart! There are literally thousands of colorful, creative papers on the market today, giving you a myriad of options from which to choose. Run to your nearest stationer to elevate this arena to one of artistic brilliance. One of the simplest strategies for ROCKET MOMS is transform the mundane, everyday realities of motherhood into highly creative endeavors. This area is no exception. Choose beautifully designed papers to respond to invitations; convert favorite photos to stamps (check out www.stamps.com); invest in a wonderful seal as well as some colorful sealing waxes...and you will find yourself thoroughly enjoying the previously dreary, dull task of paperwork. Make yourself a cup of organic coffee, turn on the stereo and deal with this everyday reality with an artistic twist.

2) Start a stationery wardrobe. Keep your eyes peeled for gorgeous papers, envelopes, stamps, seals, waxes, and labels. Have you seen the newest way of delivering sealing wax? It comes in "glue stick" form, ready to load into your low heat glue gun. It evenly distributes the hot wax to your envelopes, ready for stamping with your favorite seal. Watch for beautifully packaged gift enclosure cards, writing papers, and cards.

What is a Migraine?
A migraine is an intense throbbing pain which often only affects part of the head and may involve nausea, vomiting, extreme pain, or vision disturbances. The pain may be felt behind the temples, or behind one eye or ear. Although migraines can occur at any time of day, they commonly begin in the morning. A migraine can last from several hours to several days.The specific cause of migraines is unknown. Too much or too little sleep, lack of food, stress, hormonal changes in women, weather changes, bright lights and certain foods such as chocolate or red wine are thought to be trigge

Born Again and Heaven and Hell
If you're not born again before you die, you'll spend eternity in hell.Who hasn't heard that "sermon" or something like it before? That one statement contains four religious lies and proves such a preacher apparently doesn't know God, Jesus Christ or the Bible well enough to know differently! Nothing wrong with that, of and by itself, except an error becomes a lie when folks persist in it after it's been exposed (John 3:19-21).First, Yeshua said that which is born of the flesh is flesh (like we are now in this life), but that which is born of the Spirit

How to Make a Paypal Payment Button
At first glance it can be tough to navigate through the Paypal website to figure out how to set up a Paypal payment button for your new sales site.And even then, once you’ve gotten that far, some sellers still don’t know how to make it re-direct to their download page, so the seller doesn’t have to send out individual emails to each buyer that pays for their product.Don’t stress… I found it quite confusing to make a Paypal payment button at first too!So I’m going to instruct you in this article how you can make your Paypal payment button and how you can upload the the Pa

Bee Colonies and Scouts
Everyone in a Bee Colony has a specific job, which they are physically made for. When bees swarm they work together as a team and these little creatures can take down huge animals. How do they do it and who decides? Well the Scouts seem to be on the look out and when they see a threat they alert the hive to be on stand by or even attack.Recently this point was brought up in an online think tank when a member asked; “There is a signal given by a scout that triggers a defense mechanism, which results in the swarm response.”Okay then the “scout” is getting a different hormonal bat

4) Commit to catching up on written correspondence one day a week. I confess to being hopelessly behind...but I also admit to always trying to do better. Can you become convicted to writing at least one personal letter on your "correspondence day"? With pen in hand--filled with a beautifully colored ink (hot pink? lime green? bright blue? purple?)--write a note of thanks or a note of condolence; respond to an upcoming social event; or simply transpose your children's activity calendar into your Filofax. Try to stay on top of these things as they have a way of quickly getting out of control, leaving you feeling guilty for being hopelessly late, as well as feeling dreadfully irresponsible for missing important deadlines.

5) Contribute to a letter-writing renaissance. Email has its purpose, to be sure. Few of us could live without it. Yet who could argue that a hand-written letter has significance beyond what any words electronically transmitted could possibly convey? It is the hand-written notes which I especially cherish and save. I keep a file into which each and every one of them falls. Email may, in the end, prevail, but I am hopeful that, like the thousands of vendors with whom I came in touch today in New York, the hand-written letter will remain a most valued gift from the heart.
