It's been four years since I post on here for the last time ....
What has led me to write this has nothing to do with revenge or anger, but a deep feeling of loss and disappointment. Someone said "There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.” There is no more powerful action than forgiveness.
For almost 5 years, I thought Robert Petril and I were good friends. He infected me with enthusiasm and led me to believe that "if you can dream it you can do it. In 2012/13 , I agreed to co-design with him as well as design a few pieces of my own. I also agreed to create all of the 3D renderings for every design for him on spec (on good faith) over the last five years. I have not received payment for the renderings or any sales related to his last go around with my designs. I believe I received one payment for $70. I admit that, in the beginning, I didn’t want to get paid because I knew his financial situation and, as his friend, I wanted to help. I am the designer of several of the pieces he appears to be taking credit for on social media and they appear to be part of the collection he just re-launched at High Point Market and online. I did not know my designs were being produced and re-launched until I saw them advertised on social media, nor did I give my permission for them to be reproduced . Robert Petril did not communicate that with me. I will forget his disloyalty, his lack of principles and sense of friendship. I will forget the way he played with my dreams and betrayed my trust. And I will forget him. I don't want this to reduce a second of happiness in my life and I am a firm believer that karma will do the rest. I know my truth and so does he. And now I know who he is—just a simple satellite that shines by light reflected from every sun he passes by in his path.
I don't ever feel guilty about removing toxic people from my life …
