well - I survived the weekend! There were moments that were very difficult, but mainly I just feel very humble and grateful for all the love and support from my customers and friends. The parade of support coming through the doors Saturday and Sunday was incredible. To have a dream and find such eagerness on the part of so many cool folks to share that with has been such a blessing. Closing the shop was very difficult. And yet I know it had to happen for the next stage of my life to move forward. But still. I really loved having so many people from recent customers to long time loyal customers come in for one last chance to soak it all up. And I was so surprised at the tears and hugs that were all around! This wasn't just an ordinary business to me, but I had no idea that others saw it as something special, too. I was just looking for a way to share the farm and my love of herbs with others. I always said that I wanted everyone else to come play in my sandbox! And they did. It let me stay home with the boys and have the most wonderful job in the world - and don't think I haven't known how lucky I am! And every time I needed someone else to help out and work here with me - God placed someone directly in my path to come and join me and further the ripples of my dream. It doesn't get better than that. I can only hope that I encounter such wonderful people as I go forward. We'll find out - I'll report in! Now to get past the barn sale next weekend - then I can give a big sigh of relief - and get on with the wedding plans! Yippee!
