Lori,
I wish you and your daughter all the best! Please feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do. We all need a helping hand from time to time. With much respect! Ken |
We all have tough times, and we become stronger as we conquer each hurtle..

Wishing you all the best Lori.
The least I can do is to check the TAB offering after the New Year's Eve and check my contact list if I can refer someone to you. As someone, who went through the past three years through a couple things that probably are enough to send an average person to a mental asylum - I am sure I can guarantee that 2010 will be a turning point and a much better year. |

sent you sms.... |
Lori
You know where I'm at. I want to say this. Stuff is just stuff. It's about the getting - not the having. No one can take your experiences away from you. My life goal is not to have the most or best stuff but to have the best stories....You can be happy in a small apartment or a big house. Faith's development doesn't rest in what you have, it rests in the time you invest into her. That time won't make any difference if it's from a public school or private one. There are incredible fun development activities you can focus on with her for little or no money. Continue with that. In the end it'll probably be better for her as well to see how you can do the same things without spending huge money. And later in life I guarantee she'll appreciate it more too if you spend more time than money on her. Focus on Faith. She's the brightest light in your life. You're the socially brightest women I know. You're a great mom and a good person. We've all been ashamed of things - delayed communications and often it's because we think we can fix it can come back looking strong... it happens....I've been there. Reminds me of something you said to me about relationships and cheating once... LOL never forgot that - thank you. honestly those were wise words..... Even though we havnt' talked much in the last little while I still and probably always will truly consider you one of my very best friends. I really hope to see you in Vegas. I'm putting aside a few of the remaining dollars I have to take you out to breakfast, lunch or dinner sometime and catch up. I miss you. Love Scott |
Lori,
Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. You and your daughter will be ok, you are a fighter and I am confident that after all this, you will land on your feet and hit the ground running. This year has indeed been a tough one in the B2B sector, I can definitely empathize with you there. Although we have always been on the opposite side of the stick, I hope you don't hesitate to contact me while I"m out here til the 5th. I have my daughters out here, the little one would love to make another friend (and the 18 year old can watch them if you just want to take a break and get some YOU time - we can also just grab some coffee and a mani/pedi, I know that always makes me feel better). So don't plan on being alone, we're a call away (spending time between the valley and the OC so you're right in between) and I know that 2010 will be a new beginning for you. Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness gal, hang in there and don't htate to call. xo~Jenni |
Heres wishing you all the best for you and your daughter and truly hope 2010 will bring you only all the good things in life

Enjoy a Christmas dinner with your daughter, get her a nice gift. Stay strong and keep your finances under your own control daily in 2010. Not thru an assistent. |
lori,
i sent you a note in email. Fight the 2009! |
Hey Lori...
I heard that Santa had to outsource some of the deliveries this year so tell Faith to watch for the Fedex man tomorrow morning. ;) --T |

That is horrible, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and devastation. You do whatever you need to so you can get through these tough times. Hang in there and think positive, things will get better.
Hugs, Mark |
Have heard of NationalNet but don't really know SweetT. Having said that, based off this reply alone, if i were ever looking to host in the US, I'd contact you. Humility, kindness and empathy are very lacking in the world we currently live in but you've proven that it's not altogether gone!
Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year to you and to Lori. Quote:

Lori,
We have done business now together for a few years.. I have always had respect for you... and have even more respect for you now with this personal message to the industry. I wish you all the best in the future, and if there is anything at all i can do.. dont hesitate to call on me. Here's to ending this year.. and to new beginnings next year. :))) |
I don't know you at all Lori but I'll tell you that I have nothing but the highest of hopes for you and your daughter. I've fought back from adversity many times and each time you feel weaker and less prepared but the moment of strength is coming, keep chasing it. It took alot of bravery to come here and open yourself up to the often very critical people at GFY, take that same bravery and go forth fiercely to get your life back on track. We're behind you 100%! :)
|
Best wishes to you Lori for Xmas and also a great new year! you are a very special person and much loved.
Warren. |
The very best to you and yours this holiday season, Lori. Material things come and go, and life seems to have an uncanny way of kicking us in the head when we least expect it. But, if anyone can come out of this, it's you. Head up, shoulders back, and don't forget to breath. Sending all my positive thoughts your way.
|
this posts give me a headache.
|
best of luck to you Lori.
|
sorry to hear about that. i hope the 2 weeks you are spending in hawaii right now help to clear your head.

Lori. I wish you all the success and joy you deserve! It takes a lot of courage to bare your soul on GFY! :thumbsup:
"It's not what happen to us that matters, it's what we do about it that counts." You have stopped reacting to what is happening to you, and now you act! 2010 will be a happier and more successful year for you and your daughter! :thumbsup |

Lori, I went through something similar to you a few years back while losing my marriage to divorce and my mom to cancer. Pick your head up as I am proof things do get better with time.
SweetT - As always, a genuinely nice guy. Jaques - Nice offer man. Very nice of you! Jay - Thats a huge offer, Jay. very nice of you! |
Stay strong Lori. Trust in your strength and the strength of your daughter. Together there is nothing both of you can overcome.
|
Sorry to hear about your struggle girlie, but it sounds like you are bouncing back. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Life is up and down... I have been at the very bottom on multiple occasions... so I can feel what you are going through... but the key is to focus on what you have and not what you lost. Positive thinking will carry you where you want to go. I met you once but I am sure you don't remember me... from my perspective you have a wealth of contacts and track record that you can leverage to pull yourself back up. All is not lost. :D
|
Hey Lori,
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. You are a strong person and you will land on your feet. I think I speak for a majority (of the good people) that frequent this board when i say we would all like to help in some way. Can you post your address or paypal account so those who want to help you can? If you prefer to keep it private I understand, but would you please email your info [email protected]. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. I wish you only the best. Much Love. |
Lori, hang in there, I know your pain, I too have been recently down that road, keep pushing forward, it's tough, but it will get better. Interestingly, last night (as I do every year at this time) watched "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. Watch it, it might help you put things into perspective. Cherish your friends, you have many out there.
Kevin |

Lori, I remember attending the dinner you through a couple years ago and it was a great networking opportunity that I truly appreciated. I know you've worked your ass off in this biz and how much effort you put into it. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.
Take this time to gather yourself and then get back in the game. It's not easy, but pull up your bootstraps and come out of the chute blazing. You have the strength, knowledge and contacts to get it done. It's tough to be in the B2B field and even tougher when you are dealing with the stress of being a single parent, having all of this weight and still trying to keep things going. Let the weight be your motivator. Let this be what drives you onward and upward rather than drag you down. |

I just heard the same thing. She was in Hawaii for MK's wedding? Is this true Lori? Seems strange to take off to Hawaii when your world seems to be crashing down around you but hey, everyone deals with stress differently. I wish her all the best none the less. |

Here is to a new year, 2010. May it be better than the old one for many of us.

Hi Lori,
I just saw / read this thread. I have seen you post for many years but I don't know - think we have ever met. You sound like a good person and a great mom - 2 things I totally respect as do most pppl. :) Hang in there - times will get better, keep your head on as straight as possible, ok. I have '5' daughters and I understand it can be rough, especially around the holidays... Let's chat sometime if you want, icq is below and my email is: todd at programs.net Wishing you and yours the best this holiday season.. Sweet T, As usual.... No words need to be said :) Hugs and Loves, Todd |

I don't know her, but I was raised by a single mom on welfare, 2 other kids besides me, dad left, so my heart goes out to her. Happy holidays to her and her little girl. |

of course you heard Kevin - the difference is the way the person said it -they had their own motives obviously and many who are in the know, know who it is doing it. And it is to cause drama and pain. Perhaps they forgot to mention the part of knowing it cost thousands of dollars on credit cards months ago to book a trip out of friendship and then it would cost thousands in penalties to undo it all. the real truth of your persons evasive rumor that obviously has motives is this - we didn't continue with the trip because of the wedding. we are here because I used the money spent on the wedding trip to stay in a home here for recovery. And I am here healing. So there you are - it's a shame this 'person' attempted to capitalize on the suffering of me and my daughter and create drama in others lives and bring that into this. I think their actions and who they are speak for themselves. Happy Holidays Kevin - thank you for your post. |
Quote:
And yes - I am getting better - your text meant a lot. happy holidays, I think they are getting a little happier for us. xoxo |
Glad to hear you are getting help LZ- SERIOUSLY glad.
Do u know who the people are who told me this information? I find it funny that some of the people telling this information are the same people coming here wishing you well. I am sure there are motives behind this I can't seem to fathom. Either way, If you need further help, I hope you will take me up on my offer. I have plenty of contacts who can help a single mother with some issues. Happy New Year |

I am not sure I have your number. I have also not been on email for a long time but I am just starting to dig into it now and if you can email me your number I will make sure to look for it. thank you again Jenni. wishing you and your family a wonderful and peaceful holiday. |
Quote:
THANK YOU Kevin. Yes, I would be appreciative of any referrals that offer assistance. when I get back can I call you for the information? I am not sure I have your phone number though, is it possible to email it? |

I just need to find out from you more information first so I can call my friends who work for Jewish Family Services. |

Thank you. |
