What was your favoriteĀ present somebody bought for youĀ 10 years ago?
Two years ago?
This year?
(Need a minute to think about it?)
Who was your best friend 10 years ago?
Who is someone who helped you through a difficult time?
Who is someone who comes to mind when you hear the wordsĀ ājust a really cool personā?
(See where this is going?)
Ā
We sent you an email a couple weeksĀ ago with a fill-in-the-blank writing prompt.
The prompt was:Ā
"I could really use __________."
Ā
An overwhelming amount ofĀ responses contained one of these two answers:
"...someone to talk to" orĀ "...aĀ friend"
Ā
This weekĀ you're likely about to receiveĀ a wave of sales promotions andĀ emailsĀ for the holiday seasonĀ (ours included), our challenge to you is to pause before you purchase.Ā Whoever you're shopping for, is it possible thatĀ a phone call or a lunch meetupĀ could mean a whole lot moreĀ than another gift card? Ā
Love your friends. Love, your friends. -GFDD
