We have all been hearing negative "doom and gloom" messages, forever it seems. And many folks have commented they are tired of them or ignore it. And there have been lots of posts written about "enough is enough." Yep, we know the economy sucks in many ways, but focusing on how awful it is gets tiresome, and promotes more negativity.
A Carlsbad retailer (actually in La Costa, where I live), has had it and is doing something about it.
Dale Condy (as reported in Today's Local News) is now creating playful signs, stickers and coffee mugs in his efforts to help chase away the negativity that are so much a part of our recession.
Condy is the owner of Gems of La Costa in Carlsbad, a long-time jewelry store operated by him and his wife, Linda. Products thus far include mugs, stickers, magnets, bumper stickers.
And Dale and Linda have entered the world of blogging - check out their blog at No Doom Gloom for product information.
If you can, stop by the store at 6985 El Camino Real #107, Carlsbad, CA 92009, or send a SASE to them to receive 4 free stickers. (Note - copy of sticker from Dale Condy's blog and is a link too)
Let's help stomp out DOOM and GLOOM. They are closed on Mondays (and Sundays) so I couldn't stop by, but I sure will.

Hey Jeff - Sign me up for the Dale Condy fan club! Thanks for this uplifting post.

Maybe it'll catch on, Jeff, and he'll go national with his campaign! Gotta love it!!
Hello Realtors! "NoDoomGloom" went national in the jewelry industry with an email blast from an industry trade magazine last Friday. One industry leader saw it and is now taking 200 NoDoomGloom buttons to give away at a jewelry show in Basel so we're on our way to going global. Please pass this on to other industries and help me spread the word. I welcome your comments on the NoDoomGloom blog.
Thanks for your support, Christine.
Martha - agreed.
Sally - hopefully we will see some change as a result.
Marlene - thanks for stopping by. Spread the word
Randy - see Dale's comment about Basel
Dale - we are rooting for this to really take off
Jeff
love it!
