I've mentioned in previous blogs I own HomeGrown Creations, an art collective featuring the works of (DC, MD,VA) artists, crafters, authors, film makers and musicians. The shop's location, 1514 U Street is one of DC's hottest shopping districts. It's my life's dream to own such a business so I can't tell how wonderful this is but something better than the business has evolved from this experience. I love, LOVE my customers!! I love them not just because they buy but for the love they give-On any given day you can find a cross dressers sitting in the lounge drinking tea and eating brownie cake with a right wing matron for hours. Today this man named Llewellyn and his son Yonnik came in already joining an eclectic group shopping and hanging out. He said he was "drawn" in by what he described as “the overwhelming joyous energy from the place.” He folded into the mix and before we all knew it he began reciting a poem he wrote that was so compelling everyone stopped talking and began listening to his mixture of powerful thoughts. When he stops we all wanted more so he recited two extra. You may think this Kodak moment ended with our claps but in reality he was drawn to HomeGrown because we're hosting a Gala on the 23rd and I want local poets to read their works. He not knowing this answered a prayer. I told him about the affair and asked if he be willing to recite them. Llewellyn was pleasantly surprised and said he would. If I told you that everything I have received has come, as effortlessly it would be true. When I cast fear aside and went for my vision a chain of spiritual events have come into play. Trusting your abilities to create something wonderful no matter and I mean-NO MATTER, what negativity may come your way, is possible. Before you think my last thoughts are some Hallmark sentiment, I was diagnosed with MS a few months before I opened the store. This could be considered devastating. For me, it made my passion for going forward even greater. My friends, whatever your passion is GO FOR IT! While you can.
