But seriously, I’m proud to be your friend, man. We got this.

Looks like everyone appreciated it just as I did when you first told me a little while ago :) You’re awesome and you know I TOTALLY have your back no matter what. I hope you know we’re more than business partners.

There is a quiet intensity with you that can be intimidating at first. But this story…very inspirational. I’m constantly harping about poverty and escaping poverty on my blog. With so many people now below the poverty line EVERYONE knows someone that is poor. They just don’t know it because these people struggle quietly. Thanks for persevering.

Sometimes I tell myself (somewhat trying to convince myself, ha) that there is no failure as long as you learn along the way. So you now have only two options: succeed . . . or learn.

@Sense – So many people have told me this – that you can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first. And after many years, I’m finally learning. :)

It’s hard to take care of others to the best of your ability when you can’t care of yourself. I very much admire people like yourself that are that self-less, but then again I worry about them because they are the ones that continually put themselves last. You can do more good when you aren’t worried about where your next meal comes from or how you’ll pay your bills.

It’s hard to say that sometimes, though, because if you hadn’t gone through what you did, you probably wouldn’t be where you are right now. Good to hear you are back on track and working on the debt. You know you have a huge network of people that would be more than willing to help you out if you ever needed it again, right? :) I love that debt donation idea for you, too. You deserve a little karma kick-back, even though you probably would try to give it away again once you got it. Haha!

I appreciate you telling the world about the things you have learned in your adventure. Therefore, i really enjoyed the following.

Always keep track of your finances – This seems like common sense but how many times do us Americans loose track? I see it all time. Including my own parents. its very sad but true.

Continually build – In my opinion this is the most important thing you learned. Why? Because if you don’t consistently build (no matter what it is in life) , you won’t make progress. Therefore, if you don’t make progress you’ll obviously fail. Plain and simple.

Follow your heart, even if you don’t know where its going – This is very true. Following your heart is VERY important. This will not only help you make a run for money, but it will help money make a run for you as well.

And yeah, I’ve had my fill of road trips with J$ this year . . . though I gotta tell ya that we love doing ’em!

@Hunter – Appreciate it, man!

@bethh – Yeah, it’s not always peaches and gravy when you try to do your own thing . . . but there’s always something good you can take away from the experience.

@eemusings – You know, there are plenty of days that I don’t enjoy the hustle either, and it’s hard work, but when it’s all said and done I always feel like I need to be doing something . . .

@Ashley – Thanks, girl!

@Lauryn – Thanks so much, Lauryn – I appreciate it. 12.5 hours straight, yuck! My head starts hurting after 9, usually. :-/

@Ms. S – Okay, thank you too, haha

@Crystal – And thank you for supporting Love Drop as well, you know we couldn’t do any of the things we do without you guys!

@Sarah – Was it only a year ago? Feels like longer. I could use a Bombers burger right about now, too. Stuffed ‘shroom, mmmm… :)

It was just about a year ago I met you at @ajbombers with the meet-me peeps. Crazy things can happen in a year. Gains, losses, new people, new experiences and new appreciation/gratitude. :) Hope you visit us back in the midwest soon
