Spread Some Good News!

Hello dear time-savers and life-optimizers!

After a short holiday I'm back, better and more energized than ever. Full of new ideas to share with all of you!

Today I want to talk about the pleasure that comes from the couple of minutes it takes to share good news. I love the way it can change someone's day in an instant. Good news doesn't have to be anything big. It could be personal, about someone you know, or something you read in the newspaper. But it instantly puts the focus on something positive and worthwhile.

When sharing good news, you may want to think about how you break this particular bit of news to the people around you. Especially if it's something huge like an engagement or an exciting new job. 

I recently told my friends some big news, and this is how I worded it:

"Dear friends, I'm emailing you to tell you about this project we have been working on lately. We've been busy with production for about 11 weeks now, and hope to finish around April 21st.
The current working name of our product is 'Kaixinguo' which means happy bean, or pistachio, in Chinese. That's about the size of our project now, but it's expected to reach watermelon size around the time of completion.
My 24/7 investment in this project has left me a bit drained and not feeling my best, but we're counting on a wonderful result!

So in short: we're pregnant! There, good news is now officially shared with the world!

Sharing this news with family and friends individually let me celebrate over and over again. Reading and seeing their reactions was so wonderful. So I urge you not to keep good news to yourself, but to spread the word to as many people as you know. Everyone can use a bit of sunshine in this rainy, windy autumn.
