Cristal's story reminds me that good things take time to mature. In a world which seems to favor the "fast and the furious", her story is a wonderful lesson in patience, endurance and faith. Her story also reminded me that family is often the baseline for inspiration and inner strength. I so appreciate hard work and the willingness to keep on pushing one's limits. Thanks to Cristal and all small business owners who continue to create, work and share despite setbacks and uncertainty.
