The final 90 days

What's it like to close a beloved local shop? There's not much written about the "death of a small business" but Sweets 'N' Treats had a story. Established in 1979, my store was a local community icon for 35 years and now it's down to the last few months. I've never "gone quietly" about what I stood for, and as an independent retailer there's much to let go of. #TheFinal90

Letting go

"As we grow older and wiser, we begin to realize what we need and what we need to leave behind.  Sometimes walking away is a step forward."
