In December, we sent out a painting of a chicken on the front of our holiday card. It was painted by my friend Donald, as he said that the new year means “new beginnings”, new hope and a fresh start. To us, it also symbolized our new company, Lois Geller Marketing Group, after 14 years of being Mason & Geller.
Many of our friends told us they loved the chicken, and named him Chicken Karma…(send out good things, and good things come back to you).
Then one of our creative people found an egg. He said the egg (when submerged in a glass of water) will crack, and then a chicken will emerge and grow bigger and bigger. When it is out of the water, it will then shrink down to a smaller size, and be hard as a rock. 
I was doubtful about all of this, but we bought the eggs, and then watched in amazement as they hatched. The large one in this photo, is after he’s been in the water for about two days, and the little one is after he’s been out of the water for a while.
He/She is not a sponge, but made of some hard substance, and I have no idea how this works. I just know that it is a great little chicken, and a symbol to stay positive as this New Year begins to unfold…and great new things will begin to happen. 
Let me know about the good things happening in your world, and we might send you one of these magic chickens!
In the meantime, we are launching our brand new Idea Incubator for companies who want to lift response to their email programs, websites and direct mail.

Lois: I finished (?) the hen with chicks looking at an incubator. Hope you like it.
I had no idea you hired “up” people like Mr. P Huff. He should change his name to sugar…but I guess the smile is enough.
Love your web site.
