in my free time

Today is the beginning of the end

....of 3 years of complete JOY

In July of 2006 I was given a wonderful opportunity to run a home consignment shop

Great !!!

I had no idea though what a home consignment shop was or how the heck I was supposed to operate it

So I researched the Internet and found a manual and did it

So now, 3 years later and an economy that is just not supporting this business ... we are closing!

I am not the owner, never was.

I was the manager/creative director at this family owned business

Where does this leave me?

I have no idea

I am sad to close the shop as I will miss the people

I will miss the fabulous goodies we got in on a daily basis

I am happy to begin again though

I have no clue where I will work, what I will do

I so know that my faith is strong and I know that when a door closes, a window opens

I am heading toward the future!

As an aside:

In the past week, we told a few people here and there...

I am in a complete and total state of shock

The outpouring of email and cards is unbelievable...

so many people walked in as strangers and left as friends

We will NEVER forget this time in our lives

I guess it is true, you never know how many lives you touch... it really is a wonderful life!
