It is indeed synchronicity that speaker and author Julie Ann Sullivan’s new gratitude book is being released the same month as the Celebration of Appreciation event. She has graciously donated A Little Bit of Gratitude Goes a Long Way to the cause.
Timing could have been even better if Julie Ann could have participated in the event, but she will be out of state. Keep her in mind as a speaker on gratitude as well as laughter, one of her other main topics.
I just received a most generous box today of card-making supplies for the Thank-You-Note-athon from Stamp Fanci in the North Hills. They are the largest rubber stamp store in Pittsburgh. From my research, they are THE place to go to for card-making. With what she provided, ANYONE can make a nice personal thank you note, that really is a gift in itself.
Last week I had a lovely conversation with Carole Davis,the owner of Marjie Allon Fine Stationery, in Shadyside. Before I said more than a few words she was off gathering me a wonderful supply of thank you notes for the Thank-You-Note-athon portion of the event. She told me she was previously a teacher and that naturally supporting a literacy cause was close to her heart. All the while she’s adding more and more beautiful cards to the supply. Plus a few journals, perfect for a gratitude practice.
Early on, Maria Polinsky of the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council asked Half Price Books for some donations, and we got our start on a beautiful supply.
Be thinking of all the people in your life you are grateful for, and come join us to reflect on gratitude, hear some heart-opening music, write a few thank-you notes, and enjoy good food and company.
I’m so happy that one of my favorite stores that is all about leading a meaningful life has joined the Celebration of Appreciation as a Gratitude Giver sponsor. Journeys is tucked away on a quiet street in Shadyside, just off of the Aiken business district…810 Bellefonte Street. They carry books, gifts, music, aromatherapy, yoga supplies as well as materials for counselors and helping professionals.

I’m so excited that Positively Pittsburgh Live Magazine is serving as Media Sponsor of our event. I reached out to the organization since I see World Gratitude Day as indeed a positive event. It turns out the Joanne Quinn-Smith used to volunteer for the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council! So she graciously and generously is helping with media, sponsorship and some other PR guidance!

I’m excited to be sponsoring the Thank-you-note-athon in celebration of the my 10th anniversary of Litzinger Career Consulting. I’m not sure how much I will be using this blog section of the WordPress site, since I am hoping to simply use this as a free website for my event. We’ll see!! Please do note that the web address may be different than what you typed in since I’m redirecting it to this site.
I hope you will join me on September 22 for the Thank-you-note-athon!!
