Happy (rainy) Thursday!
As I adjust to my first day of "retirement", I am reflecting on yesterday. Let me just say — my heart is full. Where do I even begin? Thank you so much to all those who stopped in yesterday (and days leading up to the big day) to wish me well ❤️ And the beautiful sentiments on social media this week were so fun to read! Meeting and getting to know you all has been an absolute pleasure, and the memories throughout the years will be forever in my heart. SO many good times! Laughs, tears, hugs, and most of all — friendships made.
But on to a new chapter. Not just for me, but for YOU too! We met with Manuel and Katy after signing all the papers and doing all the things there is to do yesterday. We had a lovely meeting and I have to tell you — you are in good hands. They value community and connections and are very eager to meet you! You will see change — they have big plans and ideas to offer this community that are very exciting! You will be seeing new signs go up soon and I will be directing you to their new social media pages as well. So watch for that! I will be helping them for awhile to get them transitioned and also helping with social media.
Please remember this — new chapters are good. Change is good. It's not only a new chapter for me and for you...it is a new chapter for Manuel and Katy too — one that they are very excited to begin within this community. I know this community will welcome them, just as you welcomed me seven years ago. I hope you have a chance to stop in soon and meet them!
Have a beautiful day everyone! —Karen
