e-Mom, thanks for the great comments! The “well-written” compliment needs to go to Julie, as she provided such great answers to my questions. I’ll have Julie get in touch w/ you about her mom… :-)

I’ve come back to read this interview in detail. Very insightful and well-written Jennifer!

What really stands out to me are the hours, days, dollars, and hard work it takes to excel in a skill or talent. Julie and David’s Mom should be congratulated for “training her kids up in the way they should go.” Their success is due in part to her dedication, and she’s a good example of a Mom who prioritized her children’s development.

I’d like to meet her! Where is she now? And what is she doing?

Blessings, e-Mom :~D

Heather, Jane, Linnet, I’m glad you enjoyed this! It’s been fun to do these features of my friends, and I hope my friends don’t mind the spotlight too much. :-)

Tipper and Peculiar, thank you. Yes, Julie is a remarkable gal, and I’m so pleased you were inspired by this.

This is such an inspiring story. So wonderful to see she and her family work as a team, like families should, and the blessing of working with her brother. Sounds like they’re right in the middle of God’s will for their lives. I appreciated hearing about this couple being debt-free also. That’s a goal of ours. I loved reading this and appreciated the idea you have of featuring your friends.
