Life and Changes

Recently it has become necessary to close down a business that I absolutely love. I don't love it because I make money at it nor because I'm particularly good at being a business woman. I love it because of its purpose. It has been all about getting people to connect. It has been a place of refuge for many and a place for women to get to know other women and feel like they have people that care about them. It's simply a vintage store with games and classes and tables to sit at and visit. It was a dream come true, literally. Amazingly. It is a privilege to go there on any day. But life changes. The economy changes. And so we move on and walk a new path. But the paths connect and continue. They are not disjointed. So while I am sad. Deeply and profoundly sad. I am also excited. For I knwo that I enjoyed this time of life immensely though I never knew that I would like having a business. So now, I look forward to a new surprise. I look forward to seeing what I become as I grow up. I know that I'll have to keep growing. I'll have to keep praying. I'll have to keep believing. But I know that every little stage will be an exciting adventure. Hope you walk along with me. Blessings.
