A while ago I was contacted by a very nice person called Carla Kay White who had happened across my desktops on the web and was kind enough to take the trouble to contact me to say how much she had liked them. This in turn led me to check out her wonderful and inspirational blog.
Carla had been working on an iPhone application called Gratitude based around the idea of keeping a gratitude journal and the idea is you jot down five things a day for which you are grateful. She was inspired to do this after keeping her own journal and benefiting from the life changing effects that happened as a result. Even more impressive to me (not a morning person) was the fact that she had worked on this every day between the hours of 5 and 7 before starting her day job.
Anyhow, Carla had seen the little Buddha guy that resides on the pre-loader of my site and thought him just the right image to use on the icon of her new app’. Considering the nature of the app’ and that she is donating 10% of the profits to charity I was very happy to agree.
Gratitude Journal was released on December 12, 2008 and shot up to #2 in the Lifestyles category within it’s first week. It remains around that position now. More importantly, it has received nearly all 5 star reviews.
