Happy Holidays from A Little To The Left
Submitted by sandi on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 16:33
This is another time of year when one should take time to appreciate one's family, friends and all the other blessings we have in our lives. I, for one, feel so very lucky to have the love and support from my family and my dearest friends.
And in this year, I found many others - strangers to me - who have visited this site and written me personal notes telling me how much they appreciate what I am doing. Those notes are the greatest gifts I can possibly get. To hear from you that you understand why I decided to create these cards and what they mean to me and to hear your stories and your notes of thanks gives me the strength and the courage to press on.
As the end of 2009 approaches, I look back at the very beginning of this year and where the company was. We had only a few stores in San Diego and San Francisco carrying our cards. We now have 20 stores in 8 states and will soon be showing up in 1 more store. We went from being something only our friends and family members heard of to being a known entity to PFLAG, the GSDBA in San Diego, the NGLCC and the Greeting Card Association. We went from no online traffic to a respectable level of online orders.
I call that growth!
So, as I go off to spend the Christmas holiday with my son and son-in-law, I want to wish you all my warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And I want to thank all of you who have visited this site whether to place an order or to read my bog. Your comments have been "the wind beneath my wings".
I promise you all that 2010 will bring new ideas, new designs, and new sentiments for you to choose from. But the core of A Little To The Left will always be our support for marriage equality for all and offering tasteful greeting cards for LGBT couples, their family members and friends.
I am not from the deep south, but what I want to say is...
Thanks for visiting and y'all come back now, here?
