March 13, 2005 Good Morning! Yesterday I was in Portland, Indiana at the Tri Kappa Art Fair.  It was a good show...I had a great location and we met MANY nice people. There were some touching moments during the day as ladies purchased bracelets.  One lady was buying a bracelet for herself with the 'Loss of Loved One' prayer.  She had lost her husband and was overcome with emotion when I asked her which prayer she wanted. She had to point to the prayer because she couldn't speak. I was also sad for her.......I'm not the person to cry in front of because I will join you with tears of my own.  If I had only sold one bracelet all day to this woman, knowing that it was going to bring her comfort and strength to adjust to her life without her husband, it would have been worth my effort to be at this art fair.  Experiences like this give me so much encouragement to keep doing this business. My prayers with this customer, whom I'll never forget! Its that time of year to begin thinking about gifts for Easter, Mother's Day, Graduation, Weddings, First Communions and other special events.  Why not honor these special people in your life with a prayer box bracelet?  I will ship for you and even sign a card with your personal message. Contact me via the email feature on my site. Spring is JUST around the corner! Fondly, Julie
