On a dreary Sunday in Maine, this is my view, a gift from a client turned friend like many of you❤️
9/1/25 The Shop is officially closed. The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotion. Only the second time in my 36 year career that I thought I should have done something else for work. The first time was when I left my first business and went to Digrigoli with my little two year old in tow, after working 50 plus hours a week and asked him if I could work there and work less hours. In the car I thought, maybe I could just waitress at night instead. I was scared and no one really liked me- it ended up being one of the best things in the end, leaving me with work life balance and several life long friends- and I know this time it will be the same. Some of you have asked me if Im angry. Im angry that someone whos entitled and spoiled can take something away from someone who worked hard for everything they have- just because. Have I wished for karma? I have. This time though, maybe karma is that we survived and we will come out stronger in the end. Maybe its that theres kind people in the world like Tara and her staff that helped us so much. I know for certain, it is the support from all of you, that these flowers represent- no one can take that from us. The friend who brought flowers in the beginning to say, Im sorry this is happening to you. The friend who said she didnt care what chair she sat in as long as I was standing behind it. The ones who would have chose violence ( we ride at dawn). All of you made our place what it was for 16 years, through recessions and a pandemic-those relationships will live on. That my friends is karma enough for me.
~Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened ~
Love you all❤️ See you at Vibe!
