Update on a Blast from the Past

Well, she didn't contact me directly. So, I took the initiative, found her email address and contacted her. I let her know about my post and that I was hoping we could become friends again. She reciprocated. I must say, I really did miss having her in my life.



Kountr has created a lot of changes in me and my life. I thought we were just starting a website that would hopefully become popular. I didn't realize that in the process it would enhance my life. It has found lost friends and family and helped me grow. I feel a lot more confident from this experience and I can only imagine what will happen next.

This is what work is all about... It's about loving what you are doing and enjoying your work!

A blast from the past

Promoting Kountr has had some interesting side effects. The first was seeing who has added or wants to add me as a friend on Facebook. I resisted joining but did to help promote Kountr. People I haven't talked to since high school and even strangers have asked to be my 'friend.' The great thing is that I have reconnected with some of my extended family whom I haven't seen or talked to in years. It is nice to hear from then and know that they are happy and healthy.

The latest surprise is a feedback email I got today. An old friend discovered Kountr through Anyram's blog and, though sceptical at first, is hooked on Kountr. She ends the email saying that she hopes we are doing well. Her email brought a smile to my face. I, too, have been thinking about her and how she is doing. We had some great times together and I would like to think that we are older and wiser today. Old friendships can never be the same but they can get better. We'll see where this all goes... So, old friend, if you are reading this, get in touch again. I would love to hear from you.

Michael and Kountr are teaching me that just when you think you know where life is leading you, it gives you other options.

Family and Friends

This is a very broad topic but one that is very close to my heart. There are so many songs and sayings that talk about how lonely we can be even though we are surrounded by friends and family. It is easy to feel isolated whether it is for geographical or emotional reasons. Then, family and friends find a way to connect again.

I am ecstatic about the support we are getting from our friends and family for Kountr. Michael and I have been feeding off of each other for energy to keep going but now, our friends and family have stepped up and re-energized me. I feel very lucky. Yes, I'm a sap... a proud sap.

Thank you all!
