Doors & Windows

It sure is funny how things work out...five weeks ago I left the job that I’ve had and loved for the past three years in order to move on to the next phase of my life. I knew it was the right thing to do, but honestly, I didn’t have a plan. Given the current economy, it was definitely a dicey move, even borderline a bad idea, but I knew in my gut it was time. I filled the first few weeks of my “temporary retirement” with odd jobs and volunteer work. People asked me what I wanted to do and occasionally I would say the obvious response, “Oh, something in marketing.” But every once in a while I’d be honest and just say, “You know…I want to do my own thing. I’m not sure what that is yet, but if I could do anything I’d start my own business.” It felt a little like an empty promise, like I didn’t really know what I wanted to do or even like maybe I didn’t really plan on doing anything at all! But it was the truth. So, as they say, “When a door closes, a window will open somewhere."


My mom and I have shared a love of coffee for years, so it just seemed like a natural fit when she told me she wanted to open a coffee shop in Wimberley but she just didn’t have the time. If there was one thing I had to offer, it was time! 


So...I'm headed down to Wimberley to open a coffee shop! This was a scary decision to make, but I'm a firm believer in taking chances, and I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I’ll use my blog to keep everyone updated on the progress we make and to let you know when we’ll have our grand opening. I am so excited to pour my time and energy into this new venture and be able to start something from the ground up. I can only hope it is a huge success!  Thank you for your love and support!! 

Oh, and visitors are welcome!!!
