Seeing Magic in the Mundane

So, I never thought this would be the first retail location for Groovy Goddess...

Quite often, I roll into my local Postal Annex to pick up the various mail and packages that have arrived. Then there are also all the times the owner, Cely, has been my notary. Cely and I often talk about running your own business. The wearing of infinite hats. Doing things you wish you had someone else to do.

And every time I'd walk in with a Groovy Goddess T-shirt, she'd laugh at the design. And every one of those times, I'd pass the myriad of greeting and note cards she sells daily.

Like dawn rising over Marblehead (is that just a New England saying?) I told her I also carried note cards of Groovy Goddess.

Well, I'm happy to announce that I have my first retail location at Cely's Postal Annex in Los Altos, CA.

Build it and they will come... with alot of hard work.

So, it's been about a week since I posted anything. I have to admit that there was the post mania crash from the sheer effort to get everything up and running. And then there was all the usual suspects... work, child, work, life, and did I mention work?

I'm happy to say that after more than one year of having spoken to whole body team members at two Whole Foods locations, I just completed their extensive application and submitted it just moments ago.

While it will take 4-6 weeks to even know if I get the opportunity to send in samples, I am looking up, awaiting the clouds to clear and a rainbow to shine through!

Out to the universe and beyond.

I did it! After untold hours, I got everything up and running! I've sent emails, posted on facebook, blogging now, and will tweet in the morning.
I find it quite ironic that the two people helping me immensely right now are 1) a devout Christian and b) a devout atheist. But as one of my advisors would say, "that is the way of the goddess."
More soon on the first retail location for note cards.
grazie, gracias, merci, תודה, salamat, danke, and thank you!
