Do you send a family newsletter this time of year? Why only this time of year? How about quarterly. Or to relatives for each child’s birthday? Living so far from most of my family for the last 15 years has taught me new ways to communicate. Email newletters are by far the best. You can add pictures and even sound clips. I am currently working on a new ebook that teaches exactly how to do all of this. But for now I urge you to gather your pictures into a file that you might want to share. They need to be in digital format, so if they aren’t already, scan them. You don’t want too many in your newsletter, maybe 3 or 4. And if you have a video on YouTube you can link to it. Have your children gather around and sing something and you can record it, most often with equipment you already have on your computer. Gather it up and this afternoon I will show you where to get a free trial membership with a great email news sending place. They say it is for marketing but we also use it for family and ministry communication. Get your ideas flowing and check back with me this afternoon. Got any questions? Leave me a comment.
You know now that the holidays are over it is also a good time to reflect on the last one.
I did not send a letter this year and now I regret it so I am thinking of doing one in the spring. There is no rule that says we must doing only for the holidays. Thanks for your point of view.
