Birth of Success by Drew Strouble

My mother had given me the pin cushion, complete with baby and newspaper clipping, which she had found in a junk shop.

At this period in my development, I was ready to take off into the unknown, replete with risks, hope and a new love for life. All I needed was the faith of a mustard seed, a nurturing mother's love, the strength of a Samurai warrior, the clarity and roll of a marble, the endurance of a camel and a biplane to take off to the heavens to soar with the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson as my compass:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Thus began my "Birth of Success."

Hi, Drew. I received your Calendar and Journal today with the personal note. Thank you so much! Lukas, who helped me open the parcel, also says “thanks” for the Styrofoam peanuts. Ollie, who has only three legs, is less prone to chasing things, but says thanks as well. And I will most certainly enjoy the Calendar and Journal. All the best,Margaret

Drew, I just received the print of “Rescued Angels” and it absolutely beautiful! Adrian will love it! The sweetheart in the middle looks like his rescued little girl “Gabby”. His other rescue, “Ricky”, is a snowshoe. Adrian picks up and delivers Siamese for the Florida rescue folks, and falls in love with every one of them. Thank you for supplying the purrrfect gift for my good friend. I’m sure this will not be the last time you will receive an order from one of us. Thank you again. Furry hugs to you! Patti
