Courtney's Journal
All of the journal entries are my personal opinions and experiences. I have tried to be as honest and uncensored as possible, my recollections are my own interpretations. If I have offended anyone, I apologize. Events in my life have led me to believe that on certain topics, silence may not be a virtue. I care a great deal about proper grammar and spelling however, I cannot guarantee that either will occur within my journal.
I hope that this journal will show the type of people we (Peter and I) are, what we are trying to do with our shop and lives and (like most other people) how hard we really try to be good people, the best that we can possibly be at that time.
While I may discuss personal issues and individual people, I never discuss clients in ways that disclose their identities unless they have given me permission to do so. We are involved in many personal, sensitive and confidential aspects of our clients lives and we would never violate that confidence. We appreciate the trust and loyalty our clients give to us on a daily basis.
Comments or criticisms are welcome. Any and all questions about any topic will be seriously considered and answered.
