Silicone Socks fighting for the homeless in America

Sometimes I just want to quit !
All the money I use for on line advertising and supplies to make the socks from some of the orders I get come from my hard working husband, and out of our household budget...The guilt I feel when we are broke at the end of the week.. leaves me asking myself.. sometimes maybe dreams aren`t supposed to come true...maybe that`s really all they are just dreams.

Our biggest loss was a ski and bike shop... a childhood dream fulfilled in our late thirties. One of the most painful parts was that we sacrificed eight years to bring the business to a profitable level and then our partner took it all away. Not a fun time.
The next business this failure led us to (our current) is the best business we have ever built beyond our wildest dreams. It is also a ministry to help people and we are changing lives.
In Proverbs 23:4-5 is a word of wisdom to all entrepreneurs... "Don`t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle."
Sometimes it`s a matter of persistence... not giving up on the dream.
Sometimes it`s a matter of a different vehicle to fulfill the dream.
In either case we will pray that you will have the wisdom to know what to do in your own situation.dsprindle5/14/2008 1:49 PM
I thank you for your encouraging words...I seek not money or wealth God has blessed me richly with a great husband and 2 of the best kids in the world! He has also straightened my spine after 37 years of painful scoliosis. Now it`s straight as a pin! The Lord is with us.
My heartache I suffer is for those who I know are suffering right now I can`t stop thinking about them...the runaways..the throw aways of our materialized society...it`s thoughts of them that keep me going and hoping.
May the Lord be with you both always and God Bless you for what your doing by helping others!
