No Reserves Left

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I closed Tony's restaurant, Taste of NY, for the last time last Thursday. Since last April. It seems I have been dealing with one life shattering crises after another. My husband, John's sudden decline in health and death followed by partnering with Tony, someone I viewed as family, to bring his passion to life, only to have him take his own life, leaving me to deal with a business I had little knowledge, passion or the financial reserves for. I did my best at giving it a fair chance but finally had to say...enough...for my own self preservation.

I am still locked in a two year lease on the building, and do have plans to create a place for fellow artists and artisans to meet, create and display/sell their creations. But I am going to take a month or two to just BE here in WyldeWood Hollow, my little homestead. I need some time to grieve,rest, and hopefully find myself again. I am not really sure how I am financially going to swing honoring my lease there and keeping my homestead, but have faith in that if it is meant to be, things will fall into place. When one door closes, others will open. I firmly believe this.

Sort:  

I wont lie...we will miss the pizza!

However, I am much happier that you will now have time for building friendships!!

I look forward to seeing WyldeWood Hollow, your first visit to BorrowedEarth and to getting to know you!

Here's to opening doors! Hugs

I so look forward to getting out to see all of my friends now!

And I AM planning on serving coffee, gourmet hot chocolate, healthy smoothies, and varies baked goodies...including my cheesecake!

Sometimes it is better to cut our losses and move on. It takes time to grieve after you have lost a life partner. You just can't rush these things. Then you had a second blow with the death of Tony. Not easy. Take the time now. I think your idea of a place for like minded place for people to meet is excellent.

I am giving myself a couple of months breathing room... But will be working on my homestead and some art projects. I am hoping to make a go of the artisans market.

Good luck with whatever comes your way - taking time to heal is so important! I love the idea of a creative place :)

It will take a bit for me to get it together. But it's a dream I have had for a long time!
