In June of 2009, our friend Dennis and his kids came over to swim. Dennis, Ivan (my husband) & I were sitting poolside discussing all that was wrong in the world, including our own world. The conversation ranged from one of us being let go from a full time corporate job, to being "upside down" on our houses. And every time another topic came up, we agreed there was always a silver lining. We talked about all the job opportunities a sudden layoff provides. Even when money was tight in our household, we recognized the blessing a home brings with its love and laughter within. All of our basic needs are being met; our kids are healthy and did I mention we were sitting poolside!
We came to realize, and verbalized with one another, how truly blessed each of us is. And from that conversation we realized we wanted to share that message with everyone. We developed this discussion a bit further and started u2rblessed that same day. The word “blessed” seems to sum up how good we have it. Simply stated, we are grateful for what we have and by being grateful we can have an effect on others to make them understand how good they have it. Focusing on the positive and paying it forward!
u2rblessed was an attitude and belief before it was a business. And what better way to form a
business than upon a principal you truly believe.
