I hope everyone has had a wonderful Fourth of July Celebration with their families, friends and loved ones. I’m also hoping that everyone is enjoying the beauty of summer and getting an opportunity to hang out with friends for summertime fun.

The mere fact that we are halfway through this Month of July reminds me that Pinkskate is literally a couple of weeks away from launching our online store! I don’t want to pretend like this has been an easy task because it hasn’t. Truly, whenever someone is pursuing their dreams there’s always a fair amount of Hard Work that goes into it and none of us are immune from that.

The best part is that we have finally finished our product photography and we look forward to doing live shots of our Pinkskate Models who just happen to be real figure skaters. With only a few administrative details left to finalize the back end of our store, we look forward to bringing our dream to a reality. Better yet, we look forward to bringing you quality products, created specifically for the Pinkskate brand.

Most importantly, I want to thank everyone for their positive words of encouragement throughout this process. Any success that Pinkskate incurs will truly be because of you.

Support when you fall 

Hello Friends of Pinkskate,

The past several days have been really thought provoking for me primarily because of the conversations I’ve had with a few of my closest friends who are pursuing great and exciting things in their lives right now. The primary concern in each of these conversations was Fear and the thought of Failure. I must admit that I can totally relate simply because of my own dreams and goals that I am currently pursuing by owning my own business. So, it is only natural that I would think of a sport like figure skating.

As a skater you might fall down a million times before you land a jump correctly and just how many times do you really have to fall before you finally get it right? Most people will answer that question by saying “I fall down a lot!” Sometimes life in general can feel the same way but the good news is that we can get back up! The fall might hurt and it may even be embarrassing but if you never take that leap of faith into your goals or dreams, you will never know what landing that amazing opportunity feels like.

Please be encouraged today and know that you can pursue your dreams and goals especially since you most likely already possess the talent to achieve it. Just remember if and when you fall, get back up again. = )
