A local networking group called Coffee and Contacts invites current members and anyone interested in sharing their support for local businesses in the Triangle to join this Inside919 group.
My dear Heather, having just gone through the exact same process I know what you are going through. In a way it is a huge relief -- but it is bittersweet for what it could have been in a better economy for SoCo and for The Studio! We are better of...
Virginia, it has been my pleasure to get to know someone with as much grace and genuine caring as you.
A log cabin in the mountains is a very just reward to you and Geoff for a life of giving. I will say that my brown eyes are green with envy :) ...
Virginia, Your 'light' will be missed by all who know you ... particularly ME! A few years back I had a chalet in Asheville and I know that you and Geoff will melt into the culture perfectly. Your deep appreciation and generosity toward others wil...
I am both happy and sad to announce that Geoff and I have decided to retire (in a fuller sense of that word than is now the case) and will be moving to the mountains a little over 200 miles west of Cary, when a log cabin with a lovely view that we...

To a Log Cabin in the beautiful North Carolina mountains
I am both happy and sad to announce that Geoff and I have decided to retire (in a fuller sense of that word than is now the case) and will be moving to the mountains a little over 200 miles west of Cary, when a log cabin with a lovely view that we have purchased there, has been made suitable for occupancy. We will then sell our house in Cary. As we all know only too well, this is a tough time to start and maintain a new business and although it has been fun and challenging, for many reasons we f… Continue

N.I.M.B.Y.
I'm sure you have all heard of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard)? We have probably all been guilty of it. Since moving down here, many of us have probably occasionally thought that we don't want to see any more growth. I, personally, like to see growth however I do miss the forests when growth happens overnight. Why can't developers just leave a few trees? But I digress.
The facts are we chose to live and work in the fastest growing part of the country so we have to expect upheavel and chaos from tim… Continue

Metamorphosis
When starting a small business with no formula to follow, that is, a new concept that is not being copied from somewhere else, it must change with the seasons and conditions -- like the growth of a tree. I have just realised that my original concept of being "all about the children" has, because of the current economic conditions, become "something for everyone". I did an exercise for myself the other day -- I tried to find a use of my space for every single letter of the alphabet! It was so muc… Continue

being a small business owner
I never thought I would or could start a small business. There are not countless small business opportunities I could have enrolled in at my age (having never really worked in my life --a retired husband, grown children) but to choose a route that makes me accountable every single waking day of my life from here on out, is uncharacteristic of me, at best! To have to make the rent payment every month on the germ of an idea can be scary. I look at all the women I know who have no storefront, no ov… Continue
