First let me just say how much this grant from The Pollination Project has meant for my business. I’ve gotten so much positive feedback and new interest between the Pollination Project’s Facebook and Twitter, and now with that recent Huffpost article. I am well on my way to achieving my dream and this was just the push I needed to get out of dream mode and into action!
