Hello Exclamation Mark

How did you find me?
I’d love to know.
My name is Sarah.
I want you to know that this really is my very best version of ‘Hello‘.
It’s not a ‘Hi’ or a ‘Hey’.
It’s one big, fat, friendly in-your-face version of ‘Hello‘.
So welcome to my little blog.
It really is so very nice to meet you.

Let me tell you a story…
We can base it on a KitKat if you like. Let’s pretend I have two friends and one is named Kit and the other (yep, I think we all know where I’m going here) is named Kat. A bit of obvious certainty never hurt anyone now did it? So anyway, I didn’t really click with Kit. But Kat, she was different. Good different.

It was the way she said, ‘Hello’. 

It started on approach, before the words even came out. You’d see her almost dancing along the street; a lightness to her feet. And when she said it, her whole face filled with a smile as if trying it out for the first time, playing with social interaction. There was a real mix of excitement and innocence. And a challenge too. It was as if she was throwing down the gauntlet and saying, ‘There’s fun to be had here.’ And there was. Lots of it.

So that is why I liked her.
And that’s what I’m doing for you.
I’m saying, ‘Hello‘.
I’m throwing down my gauntlet and saying, let’s have some fun.
So thank you if you’re reading.
This is my best version of ‘Hello‘.
Small word. Big impact.
Why not try it?
Have a play.
How do you say ‘Hello‘?
Try a different greeting and see where it takes you.

Put a smile on and see where you end up.
