To all our Lotus family and friends 💛
After a lot of thought and the reality I am facing.… I’ve made the decision that this Sunday will be our final day of trade.
This isn’t something I ever wanted to say, but right now it’s something I have to accept.
As you all know, Lotus has been a place built on heart — a space where people came together, where friendships were formed, where kids laughed, where stories were shared, and where so many special moments were created.
To everyone who has supported us, stood by us, and been part of this journey — thank you. Truly. You’ve made Lotus what it was.
We’ll be open through to Sunday, and I’d love to see as many of you as possible before we close the doors.
This isn’t the ending I imagined… but I’m so proud of what we created together.
My family and friends, I thank you with all my heart who have filled me with encouragement and hope.
To my valued regular guests you have no idea how much you all mean to me.
I truly have no words.
I am not ok, this is not what I saw coming and most certainly this decision has been the hardest .
Closing Lotus is not just closing a cafe and waiting for someone else to take over.
This was my dream, my vision to be a space to Connect with all individuals from all walks of life to help make inclusiveness feel free ✨️
Lotus Connections is exactly what it reads.
The Lotus blossoms in muddy waters, survives any kind of season, flowers no matter what.
Never forget what our vision was. I will never...
Its personal, its so close to my heart and will forever be.
But never forgotten...
Brooke 💛
