how do you measure rejections?


Today I had a wonderful lunch with my cousin-in-law. I knew I had family in Charleston, but I didn't know how wonderful they were until recently.( I only met them this Easter). My cousin shared a wonderful quote she heard a child say in her Sunday school class "rejection is God's way of protecting us". How true! It is so often that I want something so badly, but after its all said and done, so grateful it was never given to me.

One of the reasons I've been so sporadic about posting my blogs, is because we are still in the midst of finding that "perfect space". (we, being my real estate agent and I...really has been confusing people for some reason...and I guess they assume I talk about myself in multiple persona's)

I originally had a space I was interested in, however, due to our delayed opening date, we weren't able to secure it. Sure, there was a moment of "ah shoot, we have to do it all over again" feeling, but later on, it gave me more options to look at other spaces, I wouldn't have considered in the first place.

Now that the scheduled opening date is approaching (stay tuned...may be as early as July), we may have more spaces in our favor. I'm still sticking with "mums the word" approach until we get a lease, but at least you know why I've been a slacker :)

To offset my ramble with some pretty stuff... Sugar Snap Pea is proud to support our local designers. I'll be highlighting each of them on this blog.

Our first highlight is Shawna. She is an owner and designer of may-bee clothing. I saw her little boy dressed up in the cutest pants one Sunday morning, to later find out, that we can have all the boys wear them!! Check out her website and if you have any special requests, we may be able to cook something up!! I'm so excited to have her join the Sugar Snap Pea family :)
