“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer
Support and encouragement are treasures in life. I do my best to provide this for as many people as possible. I want to start off the New Year by thanking all of you: my family,friends, my treasured customers, brick and mortar stores, online stores, rescue organizations, factories, freight forwarders, and bloggers for the contributions you’ve made to making my dream a reality. You’ve listened to me ramble on about my vision and encouraged me during the roughest of times. You know who you are!
I want to name a select few who have reached out to a stranger (me) to be a mentor or offer assistance: Shawn Brower, Stephanie Johnson, Grace Young, Amanda Horan Kennedy, Tish Agoyo, Anna Goplen, Jamie Rubin, Jeannie Mai, Gregg Rojewski, and Doreen Disbro.
Last, but not least, a special BIG thank you to my LA “All Stars” who roll up their sleeves without a complaint and do whatever needs to be done to make JCLA what it is today: Efren Alvarez, David Grispino, James Yamamoto, Mario Guzman, & Maya Hillman. I am nothing without you, my incredible team.
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” — Denis Waitley
May 2011 bring us much joy, inspiration, and love.
Always with gratitude,
Jeanne, Mr. Truffle, Doodle, & Tweety.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the beginning of your great success story. You will shine….you will shine bright.
