Dealers of Hope
The trees seemed a little taller today. When I was driving into the Shoppe this morning it felt different. Something was different. Were the trees taller? Microns I'm sure. Was the sky brighter? Was the air fresher? What was different? Hope. I realized there was hope in the air, around us, in fibers that drive us.
A leader I once had would talk to us about leadership. As a leader, he would say, you are a dealer in hope. I've thought a lot about that. Being a dealer in hope. It starts there but doesn't stop there. You have to have a plan. Whether you're a small one person business, a 50 employee Shoppe, a large corporation or the government, you have to have a plan. And the way that plan comes to fruition is by getting the majority of folks to believe and execute on the plan. That's where the hope comes in. The plan is the seed, hope is the water, the nutrition.
Of course it was the inauguration that led me to these thoughts. I’m trying to lead a small business through these trying times and President Obama is trying to lead our country through these trying times. My task seems small but is a part of supporting the bigger task, President Obama’s. He will succeed with our help. We will succeed with his help. We all own this.
Deal in hope and have a plan.

The Last Adventure of the Dinner Chef
Today we started staying open until 7pm. It was what we had originally intended to do. Back in November when we first opened, we stayed open until 7 a total of 1 night. The fatigue was there. I was tired. The staff was tired. Sherry was tired. Harold had just passed away and we were trying to open the Shoppe. It wore on us more than I knew at the time. At that time staying open till 7 wasn't going to work.
But we knew we had to stay open later.
Today we stayed open until 7. I came in at 8am and left at 7:30pm. All the time on my feet. Cooking, organizing, selling, chatting with customers. Working the whole time.
But today I wasn't tired when I went home. Staying open till 7 didn't phase me as much. I know when I was in the corporate world people worked all kinds of crazy hours, so did I. The difference here is being on your feet, talking with folks, it can drain you and rejuvenate you.
But let's cut to the chase. I have always cooked all the dinners at our house. Sherry does laundry and I take care of the kitchen. Completely. Meals. Shopping. Cleaning. I take care of it all. Tonight I came home to the smell of lemon chicken soup. Sherry did it all. The soup was great. I think I've been replaced. I expect Sherry to make a comment here. As always, I will be back...
