The Hindu Prince Guatama Siddarta said, “There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting.” It’s the New Year, and the first month is almost over. Many of you probably made New Year resolution’s but  may have not even started. What no one ever tells us about resolutions is that every day is New Year’s Day. Each day, you have an opportunity to start over, start again, or create a new beginning. That is the gift of life.

When Isaac Childs began his quest to create leather journals, he did not know where it would lead. He just knew he had an idea that he could create a journal in which he could carry impressions, thoughts, ideas and experiences – ones that were important to him and that reminded him that life is a gift to be thankful for each day. It all started with the “Traveler’s” journal. It remains the best selling journal for Rustico. Now, Rustico Leather has hundreds of leather products. Did Isaac have struggles, set-backs along the way? Sure, but the key to Rustico’s success has been that everyday they can start again. New beginnings are at the core of the philosophy of Rustico’s story. Every person has a story to start and a story to tell. We hope you will return to your story and write about it and share it.
