πΌ π½π‘ππ¨π¨ππ£π ππ§π€π’ ππ€π ππ¨ π π½π‘ππ¨π¨ππ£π π©π€ ππππ§π A little something to ponder. Another year has gone and the new year is upon us. Iβm truly blessed to have my circle (God, Family, Friends, and customers). Our yearly trip was once again in Japan ( & . As memorable as it was, we were missing some people that opted out of the trip this year. I really wanted them to be there, to enjoy and make memories of a lifetime. I guess I just want them to experience things that I was never able to. I feel, itβs the least I can do. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
One again, Iβm just a small (some would say mom and pop) shop, but βeveryoneβ is part of this journey. I wish I could bring all of you along, but you can live vicariously through my stories as I share them.
I canβt thank you all enough for the support, you truly are part of the family. Being so small, and being there day in and day out, seeing all the regulars and remembering people by name and orders, youβre truly not just customers. A lot of people come and a lot go, but we do remember you and wonder where some of you are when you donβt show up. The weird thing is, when that does happen, most of you tend to walk through the door. Kind of odd how things work. Iβm not sure where Iβm going with this, but being in the shop and seeing faces daily does bring a sense of belonging. We try and keep a good vibe/frequency going. I, myself, like to visit places and see the same people because you kind of create a connection.
That being said, I hope to see a lot of familiar faces this Saturday as Iβm glad to be back and hope to see everyone.
