Tag: Staples

I found myself in a Staples last week, waiting on some stuff from the business services. I wandered down the wrong aisle and found myself in the wonderful world of teacher supplies! I don’t think I’ve ever gone down that aisle before, but if you have not been there, you should go. For me, for a moment, that aisle was the happiest place on Earth (sorry Disney.)

I started buying up lots of goofy things, like packs of smiley face tickers for a couple bucks, a big sheet of smiley face plastic clings, animal stickers with monkeys giving a thumbs up. As long as it was brightly colored and gave me an affirmation, it was cool and in my cart.

As I was driving home with my stash of stickers I really didn’t know what I was going to do with, it occurred to me that for a few bucks and some stickers, I had forgotten about the economy, almost all my worries and I felt really good inside. There had to be a way to pass that along. I had a web server, some skills, a Twitter account but mostly, a really warm feeling inside.

So I registered up the domain PutOnASmileyFace.com, made a web page and viola! we have a social movement to spread smiles as far and wide as we can.

Are you with me? I sure hope so. Together, we spread this thing as far as you can. I think we can even make the entire country grin ear-to-ear if we only believe.

Yes, yes we can. Click here to get started.
