Happy Birthday, Blog

Hey guys! Happy Monday to ya!

The blog is two years old!

Please don’t bring out a cake and sing “Happy Birthday”… the blog is a little shy.

She’ll take a macaroon with a pink candle, though 😉

  50. shannon @ before sunrise on June 7, 2010 at 11:35 am

    Happy 2nd anniversary! I have only been reading your blog for a little over a month now so I didn’t know about your almost-cafe. I went back and read your posts from when you found out you were starting it and when you realized it was over… and I think it was a for a reason. I am actually trying to start a business with my hub (a boutique) and everything was a “go” and now our funding has fallen through and it’s looking grim. I totally relate to what you were feeling when you realized it wasn’t happening. I still have a small amount of hope left but your words made me realize that if it doesn’t work out, it is for a reason and there is something better coming. Thanks Gina 🙂
