  Happy Thanksgiving to our friends visiting our website! I listened to a very informative and interesting podcast called "Stay Paid" from our partners at Reminder Media, who are in the process of creating our first issue of our digital magazine and weekly virtual events newsletter to send out to our customers on our email list. I am so excited to share it with you all! They talked about how 64% of Americans surveyed preferred a handwritten note over an email. Being that my love and passion for writing by hand is also my business, I thought I would share...
