If I hadn't had the opportunity to purchase this business, I wouldn't have:
• all of the new friends that I've made over the past 2+ years
• met amazing people who work tirelessly and often thanklessly in our community for others
• had the opportunity to videotape the Lower North Fork Fire meetings and help keep their struggle alive
• been able to help the Save Intermountain Animals group expose the theft of thousands of dollars at IMHS
• learned how the Elk Creek Fire Protection District operates to serve us all through attending their monthly meetings
• been able to enroll in Leadership Evergreen and really learn in-depth the nitty-gritty workings of our unincorporated mountain area
• have personally grown and learned through trial and error running a business.

 

In short, I would not be the person I am today, and I really like the person I've developed further into - proud of what I've accomplished, and excited at what lies before me!

 

I wanted to be a scientist since the 9th grade, because making a difference in this world is my driving force. I gave that up to be a mom (making a difference in a couple of people's lives!) and found an another, better career opportunity in which to make a difference. A year ago this month, I was so frustrated that I very nearly put this business up for sale, but just couldn't give up.

 

Do I regret it?

 

Not on your life. Let's see where the next year takes us.
