I believe that luck can carry through to all facets of our everyday lives. Being a web site developer & electronic artist, my business has gone into hyper growth since having these pins. At the time of writing this text, I have 7 major web sites and an interactive CD-ROM in progress at once. I was used to working on 1or 2 at once. I also have 3 postcards I am working on and I have put people on a waiting list. Past customers are calling us for more work.

I and others have found that people will start a conversation when they see the White Squirrel or Black Squirrel Pins. This has led to new business as well as repeat business. Also when I approach a new client bearing gifts, it yields a warm reception from them.

My life has changed in part because of these White Squirrels. Back in 1995 when I sold some White Squirrel Souvenirs for $60.00 to Stedmans V&S, it was a turning point in my life. To make a long story short, my company, Virtual Edge Communications, was developed in part from this sale. Today I am actively developing major Internet strategies involving web sites worldwide. I have also completed web sites in other languages (English / Spanish), although I am only fluent in English.

I have also had luck with Slot Machines (I only play the 5 or 25 cent ones) on more than one occasion.

On December 1, 2002, the LotteryCharms.com® creator was on a ladder that gave way sending him tumbling 15 feet onto the ladder. Ric Wallace was wearing a White Squirrel pin and suffered only a broken arm and smashed hand. He was able to get up and walk away in a lot of pain. The fall could have left Ric paralyzed or it could have even been fatal.

Ric was unable to open a can of soup with a manual can opener for over 9 months. A year of extensive therapy gave him about 60% use of the hand. The treatment given by the hospital and therapist led Ric to purchase a ticket on a dream home lottery and on May 31, 2004 he won the GRAND PRIZE - Dream of a Lifetime Lottery - prize valued at over $775,00.00.

Black Squirrel pins were worn daily and a Black Squirrel pin was used to attach the GRAND PRIZE Winning Ticket to a cork board. Also a White Squirrel pin with the pin back removed was carried in my wallet.

Ric feels it was truly a LUCKY BREAK as his future could have been cut short on December 1, 2002 had the fall been fatal.

The Victoria-Park.com web site, the Black Squirrels of London Song, and the LotteryCharms.com Trade-Mark would have never been completed. There are many other things that would have had a different outcome.

Luck is not just about money; sometimes it can just be living to see a new day.
