Better to have entrepreneured and lost than never to have entrepreneured at all.

Success in “failure” is true beyond business once again… I recently wrote the following to friends who supported me and Tim in our marriage, which is now ending:
“Do I feel sadness? Yes, but not regret. I am so grateful for Tim, who I expect I will know for the rest of my life. And, I am so incredibly grateful for what we did for and learned from our children. And finally, I am very grateful for your generous sponsorship. Marriage makes a difference—ours did and so does yours. Thank you.”
Not everyone will agree but I still believe that love and good will are worth the risk of taking the shot. And, I suspect that Dustin was grateful for your friendly support too. Happy New Year! Jennifer
