SHE BELIEVE SHE COULD SO SHE DID IT! After many prayers, God enlightened me and I have decided to get off the hamster wheel, in gratitude! 🙏🏽
I am sure you will understand this was not an easy decision, but after giving it all to my shops for 10 years, The Wine Café & The Coffee Cup, will close their doors for the last time this September 30.
Being 2021 such a tough year (probably the toughest since I have been in business) and me feeling physically and mentally exhausted, I feel like I need to take my life back and get into a slower pace. I want to know what a normal Holiday season feels like, maybe even bake over Thanksgiving or Christmas (...and I am not a baker 🤣)
Yes, it was all worth it! The biggest gain during these years has been getting deeper into my Faith and in my connection with Jesus and the gift of serving my community through my business that at some point turned out to be my ministry. 🙏🏽
I have met the most wonderful people, many whom I call today my dear friends...that’s a gift beyond measure. 💝
To my husband, my rock, after Jesus, I know no one has my back like you do. I came here over 12 years ago to follow you, to continue our love story and I could not be more thankful for our journey together. If I have to do it again, I would be jumping on that plane again, and take the leap of faith...again! ❤️
To the over 100 team members, thanks for the over 100 lessons I have learned from you! Thanks for teaching me humility, for teaching me skills, for making me laugh and for reminding me that I’m human throughout the journey of business ownership! I have truly loved you like a Mom and I hope that when you look back you can cherish all the good times and all the things we learned together, I could not have done it without each and everyone of you! ¡Muchas gracias! 🤗
I have the most respect for all small businesses owners, no one has a clue unless they are in our shoes. You are my Brothers & Sisters, I feel like we have been to war together!
I am excited for the new ahead and I look forward to quieter days, more Picnics and more Cha-Cha-Cha with my husband Ray, the love of my life! 💃🏾🕺🏾
Hugs, Cheers & Blessings! Angie
