Moving Ahead on our Journey ...The Road Less Traveled

What a great, fun, exciting time in Nick's life this has been! We have grown from a dream to an idea to a thriving business in a few short weeks! First of all, we would like to thank the many people who have encouraged and supported us in our efforts to bring Nick's artism to people all over the country and soon...maybe all over the world! Nobody ever truly walks through this life alone...not successfully, anyway. Our gratitude to those who have moved Nick forward on his journey is overflowing, and the list is too long to print. You all know exactly who you are, and we love you.

Nick is certainly taking the road less traveled...even in this day and age, it seems unbelievable that adults with autism wind up sitting at home watching TV all day, losing all the wonderful skills they have worked so hard for in school. There just aren't enough employers out there who know that people like Nick can be productive, reliable workers and contributors to our society in many positive ways. So, with a little help from his friends, Nick has begun doing it for himself!

Building a business is a wonderfully busy and challenging task, and there is still much to be done so that many can easily purchase and enjoy Nick's beautiful notecards. For instance, at this writing, our only available form of payment is a check. Checks may be made out to Artism by Nick. Very soon (in the next few weeks, we promise!) we will have Paypal, so that you will be able to purchase his products with a credit card, debit card, or through your checking account, in a safe and simple way.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step... we are putting one foot in front of the other.

It's a pleasure! I've put links to your site on my 'Myspace' and
'Facebook' blogs. I'll be telling my friends both socially and at work all about it too.
Take care.
