I’ve previously posted about writing thank you notes, as well as instilling the habit into my children (mixed results there, people).
But I saw a tip recently that I love, and it makes thank you notes even better.
Here it is: Lead with “you” and save the thanks until the end.
Example:
Dear Friend:
You are truly the hostess with the mostest. No one can throw a party like you do, and your mimosas and pancakes are out of this world. I am so lucky to have a friend like you! Thank you for inviting me to brunch.
Love, Fancy
Why it works: everyone loves to hear about themselves.
Try it!

Love it! And you are a brilliant life coach! A million thanks for all of your inspiration. XOXO
