Three Weeks Open…

Jul 26

Three weeks? It feels like three years. First off, I want to thank my family and my husband Drew. I come home daily with negative thoughts, and he squashes them like a superhero. It’s hard—wow, is it hard. Thank you to everyone who has come by and taken a yoga class. My teachers and pretty much everyone say that July is slow, and business is actually doing well. Yet, I can’t shake this storm cloud over me. It’s hard to remember that I am the storm when I can’t peek my head above the clouds and feel the sun.

In these three weeks, I’ve learned a lot and learned it fast. For that, I am grateful. We’ve worked out most of the kinks as we get used to our new software, make our smoothies, and get a feel for things. I’ve already had two promising employees leave for personal reasons without notice. However, the staff I have now are simply amazing and so kind.

As I sit here on the Friday of our Grand Opening Party, listening to Alternative '90s music, the great Alanis Morissette’s brilliant words come to mind:

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
