The Firey Furnace-One Year on Etsy

September 1, 2011 marks the anniversary of my site on Etsy.com. Ashar Gems has come a long way. I have heard that it takes some time for a seed to take root, send up a shoot, grow and produce fruit. That is certainly my story. I think it takes a lot of guts to birth a business in this economy and wait for it to move. Therefore, I will pat myself on the back, because it has not been easy. It is by Grace that we all succeed anyway. For those of you who are thinking of throwing in the towel. For every story of waiting and wondering and going without, there is someone out there in worse circumstances and that is when we have to ponder about our humility. Keep moving forward. Take heart. I will stand with you; things will get better and we will all dance and sing! Blessings!
