“ I am not going to open my shop again but nothing has been wasted for me because I am bigger for all that’s happened. I really just want to thank the community for connection and for making the last 11 years the richest years. It’s about my heart being opened even more so because of this and being aware of what community really means and how intimate our connections are. We are bigger than any trauma that can happen in our lives.
I’ve been offered a shed for two months for nothing to store my goods away that I’ve salvaged. I’m looking forward to going forward again. I may do a carboot market or something similar so I can make connection again with this community. I feel like I’m going to be bigger for this experience. I feel like I already am. It’s just been streams of people coming in to check on me and to help me. It hasn’t stopped and my heart is so full of beauty for this place.”
