Why you should keep in touch

Why you should keep in touch

Mom is getting baby bro ready for school.

Another package with a handmade tie will come later today.

It's cloudy outside — 41 degrees here in New York.

Let's talk about why you should keep in touch.

------------------------------

There is one thing people will do before the holidays.

Keeping in touch with loved ones.

People will ask you:

"What's the point of staying in touch?"

It's to keep in contact.

There are different ways of staying in touch:

  1. Meeting in person (for people who haven't seen each other)
  2. Sending a handwritten card (to give a personal touch)
  3. Giving someone a call (as long as the number works)

And sending a text / DM (Direct Message).

Why?

To say hello, Happy Birthday, or catch up.

In my case, I received a card from a former co-worker in the mail.

She's someone who thought of me.

Craig Davis received a card in the mail from a former co-worker.

It is to hope all is well from Donna, Craig's former co-worker.
A card from Donna!

There are stores which have cards you can send to your loved ones.

During my birthday, I met my friend's mother.

My friend was from elementary school and it has been over 30 years.

It has been a few years and it was great to catch up.

You stay in touch to stay connected to the people you value.

This includes business.

One day, you will need to ask for help from someone you know.

Take the time today to reach out to 3 people.

People will love to hear from you.

See you in the next one!

Talk soon,

Craig

Love this! Keeping in touch is so important...It doesn't have to be a big gesture...it is enough a simple text or email. I started reaching out to my non-digital friends every month...it is amazing how something that doesn't take that much makes people happier!

Great post,Craig Davis! My story is a bit different. I’ve moved countries twice—from Japan to the UK, and then to Germany. For me, staying in touch means showing genuine interest, making time, and enjoying quality moments, even if it’s only once every two years. In reality, it’s impossible to meet or call everyone we care about as often as we’d like. If you ever feel guilty about this, know that I’ve embraced this approach—and it works beautifully. 😊

Just a "Your comments are amazing" can help you connect. Love that card, Craig Davis
