I’ve been a little quiet since August. I had the big investor event, Empowering Taste, and it became apparent that a change in location for WeatherVane Creamery was necessary. I knew I had some work to do to get to the next level. So I have been putting my head down, re-doing the numbers and getting bids (and a layout plan!) for the new spot. It also meant re-doing key components to the business plan. Ugh. That thing is never perfect or done. It is ever evolving. A breathing creature.
And in the background of all of that, I have been fighting with some exhaustion and other personal setbacks as I get closer to the finish (start) line. I am definitely a different person now than when I started this endeavor and there have been many magical and difficult moments in time this year and a half. I often wonder who that girl was in times that brought on miracles and defeats.
So, in that vein…. You know how in November people post on facebook things that they are grateful for? Well, I am going to do that for the month of December. It has taken and continues to take a village to bring WeatherVane Creamery to fruition. It is the people and things that have contributed to the journey, propelled me to this place, and that will take me/WeatherVane across the finish line. So, watch out. Gratefulness will be coming on soon.
