Dear Chapsgirl,

This is unbelievable!
We need to talk about Small business abuse. Just after the devastating break in at . Here we are-no accountability, this infinite echo chamber of “there’s nothing we can do”
Today while cleaning and preparing for the week ahead at someone shot our windows, and windows at .
Really, destroying a small business ? You just felt empowered ?
That hits different.
We are out here working , building community every single day to create somethina real-somethina honest.
All while competing with big brands that have deep pockets and global reach. Every sale matters. But honestly more than anything- we love our team and customers. Ever person here matters.

When you steal or destroy property from a small business, youre not taking trom a faceless corporation—youre taking trom someone’s dream, someone’s rent, someone’s food on the table…

What’s the answer? Your friend, Celeste

Purple Heart recipient 💜 my grandpa-
Hans L. Tveten, private, Company K, Three Hundred and Sixty-third Infantry. For extraordinary heroism in action at Gesnes, France, September 29, 191 8. When his company was under fire from two German machine guns, he crept forward alone and put the guns out of action with rifle grenades, capturing, single-handed, four Germans and both machine guns. Residence at enlistment: Sandcreek, Montana.

Lives sacrificed.
Dreams interrupted.
Families forever changed after unimaginable conviction. And me, realizing something profound:
A human life carries responsibility.

Freedom, opportunity, and life itself
often come at a cost paid by others before us.
That’s why sacrifice eternally matters.
And perhaps why this must impact people so deeply for decades later.

With gratitude.
With purpose.
With responsibility.
To all women & men who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for supporting little Cafe Coco. We are arriving at the 3 year mark. Small business is always a labor of love, thank you for the encouragement

“When God gives you something to build, it’s not for applause... it’s for impact.
And that impact is meant to solve a problem, carry healing or create the very thing this world is missing.
Stop second-guessing your vision because others can’t see it. It wasn’t given to them... it was entrusted to you”.
—Matt

Different times of the year or season remind me of lessons I learned. I posted a piece from the brilliant yesterday- the private messages I received really pierced me. People who are bullied and feeling insecure, sharing their hurtful stories and shame. Why do adults bully other adults ? For power, control, social status, jealousy? And more so- why do we become complicit or simply look the other way…. To fit in? Would you turn your back on a child who is being bullied? Yet we turn on adult “friends “.
I can’t write a plan for anyone to stop or refuse to support this kind of behavior. But make no mistake- I know where I stand and I will not find myself in a circle of conspiring hate or cruel behavior against another person. Hope you find yourself as the “man in the arena”- with courage and conviction to speak out. Also I’m not opposed to the old stand by - “just punch them in the face”
