Today’s post will be short, but extremely sweet, like the concentrated nectar of a thousand swollen strawberries. This is in opposition to yesterday’s entry, which mayhaps did not strike everyone’s fancy.
A friend of mine, Laura Mayer, recently launched something she’s dubbed the How Are You Doing Project. The idea is simple: she wants to know how you’re doing. Really! Like, actually, honestly, and truly! I know a lot of times people ask how you’re doing just to be polite or as a way of saying “hi”, but Laura is genuinely interested in hearing how things are going.
To this end, she’s set up a toll-free number where you can leave a voice message. She listens to all the calls, and every few days she creates a podcast out of the messages people have left. Sometimes she’ll focus on one particularly unique or interesting call; other times she’ll create a montage of thematically related calls. Either way, it’s usually pretty interesting times.
So call Laura up and tell her how your day has been! The number is 1-800-737-6045.
I really DO care!
