to everyone who emailed with their openness to discussing their "own" businesses. I really appreciate it. I have to be honest and tell you I didn't expect anyone to really give me the help! I know....why???
But thank you. I really do appreciate your help.
My dream is to own my own "place"/store. I want a place where you can browse for books, for cards, for gifts along with sitting in comfy chairs drinking tea with friends or alone. I dream of a place where I can feature "artists" paintings, drawings, photography. I dream of a place where I can have workshops. I dream of this place where groups come to share their stories, their music, their poetry. I dream of an indoor/outdoor space.
I don't know how, where or when but this has been a dream for a long long time..I can visualize this place, the signage, the feeling of it. I can "see" it. Now it is all about making it real. That's the next step. Talking with other store owners, finding out what it really takes....and then making the decision or steps.
so....the journey begins.
