One Year Ago

Holy crizzity! It's been a year. One year ago next Friday I opened the doors. (Scotty would be so upset I didn't say "we"). This place doesn't even look the same. It's unbelievable how much we've grown! Somewhere in there the store has done phenomenal, it's truly successful, and I have personally fallen apart.

I've put everything I have - actual blood, sweat and many many tears - into this last year to get where we are and in the meantime have lost touch with friends, broken down a relationship, parted ways even with my parents a bit and lost and re-found myself. It's the re-finding part that makes me so happy.

I've had a saying in my bedroom forever - Things fall apart so that things can fall together. I fell apart and now I'm coming back together. I opened up my old laptop from 2 years ago and went through all the pictures and couldn't believe the person I saw. There was this bold, happy beautiful girl that was confident, loving, supported, friendly and outgoing. I forgot about her. It's about time she made an appearance again. The most important things about her were her faith and her support system. So Plan Find Me begins with more commitment to getting up Sunday morning and finding a small group and investing in my own happiness. And in that, I get the feeling my broken down relationship will find a bandaid.

One year. Geesh.
