We did it.. big plans, meant big decisions, which lead to big moves.. and BOOM!! We are opening a second location. You may ask yourself …. “why in the hell would you add a location in this economy??” Trust me, if we weren’t sought after with an amazing offer.. we wouldn’t have done it. It was too good to pass up and it’s a location filled with history that we want to preserve.
Since there was some unforeseen issues, the place isn’t having a cleaning team come in prior to us opening. Which means… Thursday is just me, a bunch of cleaning supplies, good tunes, and pray for me that they turned the electric on so I have air conditioning. It’s SUPPOSE to have happened but sometimes you just never know.
We try to keep it under wraps until everything was solidified but the city is already asking us questions, congratulating us and word is starting to spread around town. Big City… Small Downtown haha!
My anxiety has never been so high and I’m pretty freaked out. This lovely historic place is going to get a lot of TLC. From the fountains, to the pomegranate & pecan trees, to the old wood floors, and the spirits that reside in this location… I’m nervous, excited, scared, and to be honest exhausted.
They say “if your goals don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough”. Well.. I”m fucking scared.
Never in a million years would I have thought that we would be opening up a second location. That we would be joining forces to create bigger and cooler shit. What an incredible journey and learning experience this all has been. Life looks so different now and I’ve never been so laser focused on wants & needs. What was so important to me three years ago, is not even on my radar. Things that I thought I could never handle or navigate.. I’m learning each day and growing from it. To just sit and take a look at what our little small business has built is just absolutely wild… and there is so much more to come!.
My next big goal (this will take awhile) but is to live Downtown. Now keep in mind, I live there now. BUT…. I wanna be closer to the action. I wanna hear the music from the venues, hear the traffic on Main Street & the light rail fly by, see all the people coming and going… I want to be in the middle of it all. Words can’t express enough how much I adore my life. Sure … I’m stressed a bit. Yes… I’m fucking scared. No… I don’t have all the answers. But I am having the time of my life.
I hope your big hopes, dreams, wishes, goals, and aspirations find you and give you the biggest hug. Stay strong out there folks. Lean on your community. Do the things that make you happy but also scare the shit outta ya. Those feelings and thoughts are proof that you are growing and stepping out of your comfort zone. On the other side of fear is a lot of joy. Wishing you all the best!

So happy for you. You deserve the best. Can’t wait to see it!
