You know...Thank you so much for writing this, Jody! You know I LOVE Lesley's clothes, and I have so much respect for her as a person and a business owner. I especially appreciate her philosophy regarding mistakes. I think sometimes I forget that I'm only human and I try way too hard to make everything perfect! (Case in point: I removed my previous post because of an aggregious spelling error! Hah!) We also owe her a debt of gratitude for encouraging you to write this wonderful, witty blog!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166488185664576478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-1511076341744230172011-04-12T15:11:56.225-07:002011-04-12T15:11:56.225-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166488185664576478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-68816780836369422852011-04-12T09:54:28.782-07:002011-04-12T09:54:28.782-07:00I've just spent probably about 30 minutes read...I've just spent probably about 30 minutes reading this post... really soaking it in.<br /><br />I'm not usually at a loss for words, but I just want to say that it was truly inspiring. I'm feeling like I've been not surrounding myself (in the internet & real world) with truly positive, confident, creative people as of late. And not elevating myself. It's hard to explain... but I just want to thank you for sharing this. She is incredibly creative, and deliberate in everything that she does- professionally and personally. And what a great friend to encourage you to start a blog!!<br /><br />Thank again for sharing her story.torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903591819503011886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-51976097472201851552011-04-11T21:52:54.622-07:002011-04-11T21:52:54.622-07:00Oh I love this story!!

I have respect for a woman who does all that and doesnt complain or quit. She rocks! <br /><br />And you rock for being an amazing writer, mom, friend, woman, and an inspiration to others as well.Dianahttp://wedding.allwomenstalk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-40608113160266343282011-04-11T16:13:58.559-07:002011-04-11T16:13:58.559-07:00Wow she is a busy woman!

Also, to learn more about Lesley - i know that she's a talented designer and kind person, but never knew her background as a painter in NYC, how she & Curtis met, what her daily routine looks like (yes, #3 would do me well to follow, too!), etc. And how cute are the Grandmothers!!!? Here's to Curtis, too, for helping it all work out!

I can vision her adding a children's clothing line as well. Is she hiring??? (just kidding) Really enjoyed reading this. <br />I love stories like this. When people keep going and achieve success no matter how tough it gets. Sort of like "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." <br />Love her attitude too. Being respectful to others is very important part of one's character. <br />xx<br />maya<br />http://www.etsy.com/shop/GeorgiaBlueBoutiquemtghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172160952987403330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-58630517664067001842011-04-11T07:56:41.935-07:002011-04-11T07:56:41.935-07:00Great interview - I so enjoyed learning more about...Great interview - I so enjoyed learning more about her.
