Can you believe I get to call this work. While I don't work at the center, I get to spend time here to work on the new store design and also work a little bit on the Guest House. It is such an amazing place. All that Jo and Veo have accomplished in the past ten years is beyond inspirational. I feel very lucky.

I still some learning to do (more Lao) before I can share what I know, and the right ways to strengthen and grow the business. While getting back to work after a year is a pretty huge adjustment. There is plenty to be done daily and the only thing I really crave is that really strong coffee jolt mid-afternoon when I am tired from the heat.... I assumed it would take about a month to get it all sorted, and I think I am just about there at work and personal. I get to move into my new home September 1st! I can not wait to get settled and feel like I am actually living here. Staying in a guest house has been great, but feels way to transitional and living out of bags is not fun at all!

More fun work things to share soon...
