Dear Father, 

When I am alone and frightened, Faith is there.

When it appears that my resources and reserves are diminished, Faith is there.

When my friends shut their eyes and turn their backs, Faith is there.

 

When I make decisions and choices that are not in my best interest, Faith is there.

When my human world is in turmoil, Faith is there.

When my human mind can no longer see the goodness you have in store for me, Faith is there.  

 

I am so grateful for the gift of faith.

There is something safe about a screen and a key board. Nobody is around and it is just you and your thoughs. 

It has been a very tough year for the cafe/wine bar and gallery. I have become all those so I can stay a float. 

Interesting it is everything I love... A good glass of wine, great music playing. I can order food if I want. My menu is perfect for an easy not heavy night out. There our couches, tables, bar tables basically any type of seating you would want. I even built a deck on back since i last wrote.

I found this on the internet and thought this was a great way to change up things and actually use the leftovers... This came from Delish

I know I have to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. My question is not whether I will or will not make mistakes - I will. The question is how many times and how long will I have to keep digging away at making life work. I want to learn and grow But, there are times I get discouraged and tired of trying and seeing no results. Which then I want to shrink back and inevitably I get stuck? How do I take steps to avoid this from happening. I knowI can succeed, or at the very least get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case I am present and trying to live life on life terms....Just thinking out loud!

Homeless people in our communities are a fact of life, especially in big cities. Many of us don’t know how to interpret this situation or what we can do to help. We may vacillate between feeling guilty, as if we are personally responsible, and feeling angry, as if it is entirely on their own shoulders. The situation is, of course, far more complex than either scenario. Still, not knowing how to respond, we may fall into the habit of not responding at all. We may look over their heads not making eye contact, or down at the ground as we pass, falling into a habit of ignoring them.

So we might not know where to start? Then I think we need to ask ourselves these questions.

• What is the vision of our business the day before we sell it? So we can Know what are we really striving for $$ amount.

• How many employees will it have?

• How are the sales broken down?

• What does the even/bar space look like? Smell like? Sound like?

• What is the culture of our company?

• Who are our primary customers?

• What makes us different?

• What are we going to be know for?
