Congrats to the caring professionals and Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year, everybody!

To follow up on my post of December 17, “Tonight’s the Night!”:

Five caring professionals have come forward to capture the prizes in our second annual “Caring Profession Thank-you Week”:  a fire captain and a nurse from Seattle, two school teachers from South Bend, IN, and one school teacher from New Orleans, LA.

Congrats to all of you, and hope to see you and your feedback soon on the “Happy Clients” page of Honey Girl Books and Gifts.

Other big news: Tranquility Pillows are now available with Velcro fasteners or the traditional snaps, to make it easier for tiny or tired fingers to attach and remove the three cloth stars. As the tag says, “Snap on a star and let your feelings be seen. It’s as natural as a night sky.”

Tonight’s the night!

Hello!

Dec. 18 is a very exciting date. It is the day that kicks off the “caring profession thank-you week”: a tradition I created last year as CEO of my own business, Honey Girl Books and Gifts (est. 2017).

Each year in the week before Christmas (beginning Dec. 18), Honey Girl Books and Gifts gives away a Tranquility Pillow ($80 value plus free shipping in the USA) to the first five “caring professionals” who request one (with a scanned ID or other proof of profession). Caring professions include K-12 teachers and counselors, nurses, midwives, doulas, fire and police officers, and day care providers. In return, we’d like a little feedback about the product’s therapeutic effects and permission to share those anecdotes.

Want to join the contest?  email juliawsea@gmail.com beginning on 12/18 (that is, for the eager, at midnight tonight)

Don’t delay!  inquiries have already arrived from teachers and nannies in cities ranging from Seattle and New Orleans to South Bend, Indiana!

Thank you for your service to humanity; we could not survive without you!

This year’s winners will receive a Night model in the Moonrise design, as seen below.

new life or new attitude? just be care-ful

Hello and Happy New Year, readers!

Let 2018 be a year of discovery, not routine. Even if nothing else changes, you yourself can change how you perceive things and–most importantly–how you perceive yourself. If each of us did a caring act toward our world and our fellow humans, each day, think of all the good that might result.

News update on the December outreach campaign of HGBG to the caring professions!  As of today, four free “Tranquility Pillows” (value $150 each) have been delivered to the following people: 1) to Jaime, an elementary school teacher in Texas; 2) to Sarah, a middle school teacher in North Carolina; 3) to Maddie, a nurse in Washington state; and 4) to Leo, a high school teacher in Wisconsin.  It will be interesting to hear back from them later, on how the pillow soothes the spirits of their students, patients, or themselves, after a hard day’s work in those demanding fields.

Our hat’s off to all those people who devote their lives to a caring profession in 2018. Thank you.
