Driven by Love
So much I could share but I'll try to keep it simple. I am driven by the love for my family because of this, I work not at any job but at what I love.
I have been blessed, I got the very rare opportunity to be adopted from Costa Rica, as a nine year old. I learned the English language in about a year and started school. My mother is my guiding light, she instilled in me to work hard, treat everyone fairly and have compassion for all. It is also from her that I learned to express myself through art, she was so talented, could do almost any art media, well except clay sculpting, we both sucked at that when we took classes.
I learned to sew from watching her sew me cute little outfits, but it really wasn't cool to sew when I was a teen, so I didn't actually start sewing a lot until I had my own kids. Around that time, my mom made me take a Cad-Cam class because I liked computers- yes I was an adult and she made me, LOL. But that class opened up so many opportunities for me and in a really weird way brought me into the embroidery digitizing world. I unfortunately lost my Mom to cancer 20 years ago but in so many ways she's always with me, showing me the way and still providing me with opportunities. I am so thankful to my family and you, for supporting small business owners, who are working, not for a big corporation but for all those they love.
