Let’s BEE Together

I love as spring orchestrates a glorious showcase of the azaleas, dogwoods and redbuds, all simultaneously showing off their collective colors of whites, pinks and purples.   It creates a literal buzz of the bees along with the other wildlife looking for the sweet nourishment the flowers bring.  

When we built our space, we built it specifically for gathering together.  We didn’t know the pandemic would happen and how it would affect our connections.  Now, more than ever, we believe in connecting community and offering as many sweet nourishments and opportunities to create new memories.  Food is better shared; life even more so.  In this world, there is a lot to celebrate.  We were proud to be a part a Make A Wish grant and it reminded me of how fragile our moments can be, how scary the unknown becomes.  What a gift to have family and friends who carry us through our hard days and celebrate when we can say “I beat cancer”  or you fill in the blank to what you might have overcome with your friends in your corner.

We need to slow down and take care of one another.  We need to show up and just BE together.  There can be plenty of reasons to come together – like birthdays, anniversaries, milestone work accomplishments and more.   Sometimes the best gatherings come out of last minute invites too.  We’ve learned all of the best laid plans can change. Think about the things and the people you might want to pay more attention to and make time for them.  

Grab a friend for coffee.  Splurge for the sprinkle cookie and hear about your little one’s school day.  Invite a coworker for a quick bite.

Celebrate the chances, each and every one, to BE together.
