Owning a small business has changed the way I think about community. Every person who walks in reminds me that weβre all carrying somethingβour work, our families, our worries, and our hopes.
The more people I meet here, the more I feel that a business should do more than simply take up space. It should add something kind to the community around it.
Lately, Iβve been thinking about how my son and I can spend some of our Sundays helping others. Maybe purpose grows this way: first you build something of your own, and then it teaches you to look beyond yourself.
Thatβs what is on my heart tonight.
