We are a hoard of hard working moms over here. Kids, partners, jobs, laundry… all of it. And as moms, we sometimes bitterly complain about not being recognized for the stuff we do. We love what Telus is doing to recognize their customers right now with the #actsofcaring campaign and it got us talking.
If someone were to appreciate us, what would we want? How would we want to be recognized? Check out what our moms had to say, and then click to watch the embedded video. It will make you feel warm and fuzzy–heck, you may even cry (especially if you are PMS’ing like the rest of us here) and it will show you that appreciation can come from all sorts of places… even your phone provider!
Tweet out on the #actsofcaring hashtag right NOW and Telus will donate $5 to the Guelph Children’s Foundation for every use. And then start talking to them! Follow them on twitter at @TELUS and appreciate them back. And be sure to SUBSCRIBE here to the TELUS YouTube channel to stay up to date with their awesomeness!
And then appreciate the other people around you!
How do we want to be recognized? Of course, we are all unique, and that means for some of us it is about family, special times and memories. . . others just want shoes!
“All my friends would plan a surprise weekend getaway. I don’t care where or what we do, as long as we’re together, sharing experiences I can take into my toothless years.”
“The three Ls: Louboutins, La Perla, and Lipo.”
“For someone to either take a worry from my shoulders or to give me something from their heart.”
“A surprise trip would definitely be a winner. In particular sailing on a Gulet yacht along the Turkish coast. Thoughtful is important, I’ve dreamt of this trip my entire life so that would make me feel spectacular.”
“Breakfast in bed, with flowers… But not purchased flowers, hand picked “wild” flowers. And then a simple day doing simple things, but all preplanned without me – bike riding the Stanley Park Seawall (or San Fran), lunch at a quaint cafe, beach hangout with a good camera, or volleyball, farmers market shopping for fresh seafood for a dinner that would be cooked for me. And dessert… Must be dessert.”
“Being gifted with something they heard me say I love. Thoughtful trumps everything.”
“Diamonds.”
How would YOU want to be appreciated?
Tweet with us at #actsofcaring and to our handle @bluntmoms and we will show you some love!
