Your resilience and ingenuity are just part of what makes you special. I don't get to your blog as often as I would like to lately, but just knowing that you're there (and still so close to my house in Tulsa!) is a pleasant comfort. I wish you much success and hope to contact you soon as I need a wall arrangement for my dining room.<br />As for those fools who abandoned you and your family in your time of need, I can't help but think of the saying that life is all about mind over matter.

You are so fortunate to know what is really important: 1)married to the love of your life (and still have him), 2)have a lovely family-- full of children to share holidays and events (I know as a mother of 4 sons--joy & heartache). 3)Turn an interest or expertise into a business-self fulfillment. Bless you for being an inspiration to others. I have purchased from you on ETSY and love reading your blog.

So glad to find it now. You and I have traveled very similar paths...mine initiated a number of years earlier. So many things are swirling through my head after reading. I love the teaching that sometimes God calms the hurricane and sometimes God calms His child in the midst of a hurricane. I see that in you. I know from our experiences that those who abandoned your family and you were never really your friends to begin with...they were social acquaintances, and I've learned that it's really valuable to recognize the difference. I know that our true friends are really gifts from God...treasures for which I am eternally thankful. Billy Graham said one time (and I'm paraphrasing)..."Isn't it interesting how the greatest, most poignant and valuable witnessness come not from people's triumphs, but from their times of weakness, their failures, their moments of greatest pain." I've perused your comments here, and I see that you are living proof of the scripture "God will comfort you and in turn use you to comfort others."...such a magnificent gift and opportunity. Today, I've observed that you are 'good clay." Well done and thank you.

I'm sure it was very hard to admit "to the world" about how you lost everything you had. How awful that your so-called friends abandoned you, especially in your time of need! You didn't say, but I'm hoping you had family or TRUE friends that kept you in their lives? Maybe somehow helped you and your family? Are you guys back on your feet now?<br /><br />BTW, I found you through Brenda's link on Cozy Little House.

I admire your honesty and know how hard it is to be honest when things like those terrible things that have happened to you (and me) have happened. I love your blog and am also a big transferware collector. I started collecting over 25 years ago when I was really young. Once I got married and started my career, which was very successful for quite awhile, I was traveling to England annually to buy more pieces and to sight see there - like the Spode factory tour that I really enjoed and recommend. But once this recession hit, my career stalled (I am in commercial real estate) and we have been in jeopardy of losing our home twice already since 2008 and since I was part of a reduction in force from Bank of America in March 2012, we are in trouble again. I have modified our mortgage twice already and hope I will land a new position soon, so I can do it again because we don't want to lose our home. We have one son in third grade, in private school, and we have let a lot of things go to keep him there because he is so smart and the school is fantastic. We have also started selling our things on Ebay and Craig's List to raise money and it is not fun. We have lost firends and had friends stop making play dates with our son. We spent almost everything on medical treatments over 10 years to have our son and so we have little to fall back on now. So I just wanted you to know I love your blog and you are not alone. Have faith in the value of your work and your blog and keep up the great work. I just try to keep looking forward and keep my faith in God and my belief in good fortune for good work. I hope the same for you. Thank you for your work on this wonderful blog. <br /><br />LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715574563937115.post-57746030858018557492012-10-10T07:32:09.947-05:002012-10-10T07:32:09.947-05:00Dear Nancy, I was very moved by your words (and yo...Dear Nancy, I was very moved by your words (and your courage) and can only say that while I know things have been difficult, it's been clear from your posts over the year I've been reading them that your family is what's really important to you. And the fact that you've weathered this difficult phase in your life together is no doubt a huge source of strength and a testament to your love for one another. It's so wonderful that you've been able to take something you enjoy so much (and are so good at and knowledgeable!) and use it to contribute to your family's well being and economic recovery. As for those friends.... they weren't really your friends and you are well rid of fair-weather types who don't truly care about YOU as a person. Take good care.
