Meet Janet from Sterling Pear~ A holiday giveaway

DateTuesday, November 24, 2009 at 03:44AM
Giveaway closed~ Winner will be posted soon! 12/05/09
A month of thankfulness~ We have so many wonderful women in our lives. Janet has encouraged both Heather and I throughout the years. She is one of the most savvy, sweet, smart women in business that I know!

Meet Janet from Sterling Pear.com~ Sterling Pear has a lovely site. I've enjoyed my Ornament Storage Box  for years. It looks beautiful in my living room while storing all of our Christmas treasures!


"Sterling Pear evolved from years of friendship and family traditions. The company was formed to realize our dream of providing you with a single source for sophisticated yet coordinated holiday décor and ornament storage options."


Enjoy Heather's story about her life-long friendship with Janet. It is sweet, witty and inspirational; just like Heather and Janet!
"Janet and I have been friends since 6th grade. I don't remember meeting her, because the few years before we were friends seem insignificant compared to the lifetime that we have shared. It's hard to put into a few sentences what she has meant to me, how she has encouraged and supported me, and inspired me to be a better person.
For some reason one memory stands out... when we were in Jr. High, Janet wanted to be a cheerleader more than anything else in the world. She would practice for hours every day, I think it was all she could think about for weeks leading up to try-outs. We went to a school in Southern CA that (like many other schools, I'm sure) had a lot of mean girls who seemed to "rule" things like cheerleader try-outs, but Janet was absolutely convinced that she could be so exceptionally good that it didn't matter that she wasn't part of the "in crowd". At some point, she decided that I should also try out, even though I would have honestly rather shaved my head than try out for anything... I was awkward, shy and hopelessly uncoordinated (some things never change). But Janet refused to give up, even when I begged her to. I remember the moment it hit me that we would be friends forever, that she would love me no-matter what... she was going over the routine with me in her driveway for at least the 40th time, and suddenly I couldn't stop laughing. I was truly hopeless. The look on her face was a mix of despair and frustration... but something came over her and that expression just turned to pity. Ah, sweet pity... FINALLY. I think we went inside and had a popsicle and never spoke of me and cheerleading in the same paragraph again.

But all of these years I have known that if I would have ever decided that it was something I wanted to do, Janet (who went on to be one of the best cheerleaders that Dwyer Jr. High or Huntington Beach High School has ever known, and a prominent member of the "in crowd", without an ounce of meanness) would have dedicated herself to make it happen. She puts that same dedication into everything she has helped me to do over the years, with this silent gratitude between us... "thank God you didn't want to be a cheerleader"."
