GSFE Newsletter-WINTER 2023

New Year is going to bring.
December was bittersweet. It was the first Christmas without my mom. It was also the month I
decided to re-open a business I closed in 2011 due to medical issues. So, all you ladies out there
that wear medical uniforms and can't find them to fit right. Custom Scrubs 4 Less is re-launching on
February 1, 2023. super excited about this. I.E. Stakeholders will be taking a new path in the new
year. So excited about the change. Hanna's Hope sent out 4 cashier's checks this year. Each was just
over $ 2500.00. Our youth are our future. We all need to stand behind them and show them what
this world has to offer in the way of greatness. Happy New Year

Over the past three months, I have been honored to create cards for people all over the world from
England, Japan, and Australia.
I was commissioned to create a Modern Miss Fisher card for the Miss Fisher Com event in Virginia.
Along with creating a five-part series for Twilight for the Chamber of Commerce event committee in
Forks, Washington. I hope that they will contract me to create items for their annual event.
I received a beautiful letter of thanks from a client for all the creations I’ve created for her loved
ones. She told me how each one touched the recipient and perfectly articulated the feelings she
wanted to send to them. I was also commissioned to create a beautiful card for the artist Jim
Warren’s birthday.
I have recently stepped back from my business to focus on my children and my health. My son has
made huge strides since I changed the curriculum, I am teaching him at home and my daughter who
was struggling to read when we shifted our reading focus is now able to read level 2-chapter books.
I know these successes are not related to my business but the success I’ve had with my business the
last few months has allowed me to take a short break to focus and fine-tune my children
homeschool curriculum to help them thrive!

The months of October through December have been a time of healing for me. I got out of the
hospital in late August and have been using this time to gain the strength I need to lead a healthier
life. In June I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel, Fibromyalgia, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was
hospitalized later with encephalitis. During this time, I was being treated for encephalitis and I lost
muscle function. This caused me to be unable to walk.
October was me getting stronger and walking better. I had never experienced anything like this in
my life. I had to pray and as God to heal me and I kept going. I went as far as I was allowed to go. I
have always been the type of person to never give up, I pushed until I could walk without help.
In November I started adding on work to my recovery. I started doing a few hairstyles which did not
require much time and stayed off my feet. Standing too long is what got me here in the first place. I
have been pacing myself to stay within a certain range. I think it will be a good thing to just be parttime
now.

December has been an awesome month looking back to where I started realizing I have come a long
way and I have even more to do. I know that I can go above and beyond with perseverance to get to
