if we are really quiet and don't scare it away...Spring is coming...in March we can be assured that Spring will arrive on schedule (whoop whoop)!! now you'll notice I did not say that it would feel like Spring on March 20th, but it will - technically - be Spring.  So let's get our happy springtime thoughts together and start the season off with a fresh view...
I mean...why not??

We can all use a fresh start from time to time. Maybe daily. I think that is why we get enough Grace for each day and His mercies are new every morning!! (if you would like to know more about this, just ask me!)  March is a wonderful time to think about creativity and community! Hobbies can be a great reminder that how we spend our time isn’t always about acquiring mastery. Sometimes, they’re simply about widening our scope of creativity so that we have more resources with which to express ourselves—and more ways to invite others into our lives. What do we have dreams of making? What do we love doing?
A fresh start in the month might herald big plans for productivity and efficiency, it can also call to the deeper parts of who we are...creating, imagining, dreaming and wondering...
let hobbies inspire how you might want to grow in March both in service to yourself and in possibility of building the community around you.


This month at the shoppe you will find our coffee & tea blessings are supporting the Gary Sinese Foundation and their mission to serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. They do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.
And we continue to use our HOPE jar funds in the fight against Human Trafficking here in Oregon (Not in my Backyard), around the country (the Tim Tebow Foundation) and to the four corners of the world (A21 Foundation)! People are NEVER for sale!! 


So as we line up our class offerings for March keep in mind the 'fresh start' mindset...maybe something you want to try that you haven't tried or it has been a while...try it!  We kick off our Small Business Saturdays this month so even if your entrepenurial spirit seems more like a dream, this is the workshop for you!!  It will give your existing business a fresh start or give your dreams....flight!  so definitely plan to join us!! 
Take a fresh start!!!
