Hi All,

I just want to share that while I'm 'on the side-line' concerning working
(still rehabilitating/recovering from my moped accident 7 months ago!) I
helped a desperate mother by telling my colleague about Jack's Apno (=all
purpose nipple ointment).
This mom had so much nipple pain, tried 'everything' and was ready to quit.
I told my colleague that I'd give the APNO (which she didn't know existed)
a try if it was my client and a few days later she called me back to say
that 'this mom was feeding happily ever after'. Yes, jippie yeah! It made
me feel so great that I was able to help from that side-line. It just made
my day :-).

Often we *do* make a difference, that's what keeps us going, doesn't it?
But it doesn't make the 'frustration' of the others any less,
unfortunately......
Warmly,
