I don’t always have the words to express how overwhelmingly beautiful it is that I get to wake up and run Emerald every day. First and foremost, I have to give all glory to God for bringing me this far.☝🏼
Six years ago, I started in a tiny space selling just CeeBeeDee products while still working an 8 to 5. Some weeks, not a single person walked through the door.
Today, between our two locations, we see over 200 faces a day that you voted #1 in Fort Worth.🥲
I still ask myself, "Me? How is this real?”
The woman who fought stage IV cancer for three years in her early 20s, who survived betrayed trust, family estrangement, and recent trauma that nearly ended me... many days made me question if I could keep going. But you all wouldn’t let me fall.🙏🏼
It’s hard for me to grasp. But, here is the truth I need you to know: When my personal world was crumbling, when I felt unloveable and ready to give up, you are the community that helped (and still helps) heal me. Your love, your loyalty, your praise, your encouragement when you walk through those doors - it has been a lifeline.🔗
To Fort Worth and my customers nationwide: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for choosing us, for supporting me, and proving that broken roads can lead to beautiful destinations. I hope you have a wonderful, joyous, healthy Thanksgiving Day.🍂
