Happy New Year

So, this is my story. Many have heard it. Maybe even a few times.

Took over the family business. Very little business experience. Lost lease. Moved to East Village. Almost went out of business after the hurricane. Took a picture of .35 cents I had to my name. Co-oped space to make rent.

Three years later…..

The new year for me is full of promise and strong growth. (if there is no hurricane and-or pollical upheaval, or Acopalypse……whatever!

Funny, now I feel so responsible not to make a misstep. Taking in all I have learned, I want to apply it in the right places and allocate my time wisely. Surprisingly, I jumped out of bed this morning stressing about the new year and my business.

This is a happy stress! A revitalization stress! I have a shot stress! I guess it is not retail stress. It is retail hope.

I hope many of you are feeling it too!
