I started this company one month after my husband Art was pronounced in remission from an aggressive, stage IV cancer. At that point, starting a business seemed like a difficult decision. Ha!

Being an Only Parent has its challenges and finding time to spend with my crew is one of them. So I promised I would be here for them this summer. No work, no “just one minutes” and no “I-can’t-I-

And to make your rejection worse, your friend’s child got in! Three Steps to Take to Maintain Your Friendship. 1. Acknowledge that it hurts and you want to be her. You don’t have to acknowledge it to the world, to yourself or your spouse is good enough. Doing so will release some of the anger and guilt. 2.
