Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story (again)!! I think any Mompreneur can imagine herself in the very same situation and now they can learn from your story! I’m inspired.

And, my favorite part: Under Life lessons, number 7: Be kinder than you have to–everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

This is SO true and I try to remind myself of this all the time.

Thanks Heather!!!

I’m just seeing this for the first time. I am impressed that you had the kahonas to post the Limp Biket video. You are a kindred spirit.

Thanks for sharing. My husband and I are both entrepreneurs -we work hard but that doesn’t always equate to $$$ at the end of this month (or heck even next) . I had to laugh ’bout your 72 Webkinz b/c our kids have learned the value of money & going without doesn’t have to be a bad thing! We are closer as a family–board game nights and home made pizza–for a cheap entertainment /family night have become a mainstay.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I love that you ended it on such a positive note with the “lessons learned”. They’re perfect! Thank you!

Jenny,
We are kindred spirits and my guess is that you were meant to see that link on Twitter. I hope it helps you get this stress off your chest and into a blog post. I know how wonderful that feels.
Let me know if I can help in any way…and please let me know when you DO post about your experience. I’d love to read it.
Wishing you the best,
Heather

I just saw your link from twitter. My husband (and as a result me too) have learned some very hard life lessons when he had to close his company. It has been almost 2 years. We have pretty much been reeling financially since then. Things are finally beginning to become more stable for us and I FINALLY think I am ready to blog about it. Since moving 2 weeks ago, blogging about is has been all I have been thinking about. In the coming weeks I hope that I can get the blog posts hammered out (and our family settled into our new home). I am going to bookmark your article to refer to in my series.

Heather, Thanks for sharing your story. I do understand actually. Lessons like these certainly do make you realize what is truly important. If I didn’t love what I do, I think I could be miserable. Look forward to getting to know you on Twitter!
