Secretary of the State of Texas

Just when I think it gets too hard, too intense, too much work.. just too much... an angel is placed in my path who reassures me of our greatness. This time it happens to be the Secretary of the State of Texas. You see, we met her about a year and half ago in Austin, Tx and she took the time to step aside and tell us to keep going.. right through those tough times. Two months after meeting her she wrote my husband a letter giving more wonderful advice about being an entrepreneur which she was herself. I responded to that letter, not just once, but several times seeing if we could possibly get a minute of her time to tell our story. A couple of months passed and we began the new year. Mrs. Secretary's scheduler (the lady who schedules her appointments) emails me and apologizes for not responding earlier, but she would love to put something on the calendar.
March 8, 2010 was the date. We traveled to Austin, first met with the Governor's office about our funding to get the most out of our trip. Then we arrived at the Secretary's office in our State capital. It was very surreal. She invites us in and as I am reaching for her hand, the heel of my shoe gets caught in the cuff of my pants and I stumble to meet her. As we sat down, my husband and partner did what we do best which is tell our story playing off one another. About half way through our saga, she looked at us and said, "You guys are already on your way, what do you need me for?!" With that said the tune of our song was changed forever. She went on to call some of her contacts while we sat there in her office, she brought people in telling them to remember our faces because we were going to be very successful and famous. She got every concept that we began to explain without a second of hesitation. She understood and offered anything she could do to help with our cause. At the end we were taking a picture with her and she leaned into Roberts ear and whispered, "I am so proud of you." Then she added to us both, "The second you feel like quitting, call me and I will talk you out of it, the time most people quit is right before they make it big."
Mrs. Secretary of the State of Texas, went on to make several phone calls on our behalf, and a gentleman we are working with in the city of New Braunfels, called us and told us he had received a call from Mrs. Andrade and whatever we did, whatever we said, she was very impressed by what we are doing. And to top that, he said I can remember just a few short months ago, when BRIDGETTE came to our offices and this whole thing began! This is my destiny... Monday, March 8, 2010 is a day I will remember forever.
