Although I am still in beautiful Singapore with my Daughter “the Gymnast” and “My Rock”, I thought I should communicate with you prior to my return.
First, Singapore is beautiful and we are having an amazing time. I am so blessed that I can travel and take my children with me. We have decided that we will take each child on their own trip– so this was Gymnasts trip. My other two children also had their “on their own trips” It is a whole other world spending quality time with one child when you are used to spending it with three. As I put my daughter to sleep last night and she told me “that there is nothing more that she could ever ask for in a Mother” I knew this trip will remain in our memories for a lifetime!
For all of you who are arriving to my new blog and site for the first time, I thought that I should introduce to you the Friendship Stone Team, you can read their full bios on the site but this is more of a personal note.
Jill – She is my best friend – and my sister – what is better than that! She is an amazingly talented woman, a professional culinary stylist, a fabulous mom and great to work with. She deals with the company’s entire PR, content, and lots more! She truly is the Gift Specialist.
Laure – We met in Art School in CA, many years ago and have remained soul sisters and best of friends. Laure is an amazing photographer, and expert quilter (oy you should see her stuff) an amazing mom and of course fun to work with. Laure takes care of all of our logistics, shipping and inventory!
Shari – she came into our circle of friends through the smallest of Job Ads in the world – I was looking for a personal assistant! (Didn’t realize the scope of the business when we first started). Shari is a multi-tasker extraordinaire, a great mom and a wonderful friend. Shari is our web producer – she makes sure that you can read this blog and runs all three of our company sites!
A few months ago Jill, Laure and I met up in Florida for the Big Brothers Big Sisters National Conference. Our partnership with BBBS was announced there. What an honor to be involved with such an important mentoring organization. As we live in different cities – different continents – being together at this event was very fulfilling.
I turned 50 this year – and one of the best birthday gifts was to spend time with Laure and Jill in Thailand together! Just having fun in the sun – Three best girlfriends!
So I will be back in a few days – and I will let you in on the tales from Singapore – the people I met, the places that we visited and the friends that we made!
Have an amazing day
Cathy

Very good concept, I like how you convey the message.
