Reflections from a midlife journey
An unexpected revelation
If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past couple of years, it is that the answer always lies within me, regardless of the question or issue I’m wrestling with. Sometimes I get an answer to an issue I wasn’t even aware of. I know exactly why I have pursued the B&B dream, but the dream wasn’t to own a B&B.
Discovering my beliefs
Todd and I have stayed at several B&Bs this year. I love that every inn is a reflection of the folks who own and operate them—from the ambiance and décor to the food and level of service. From these experiences, I have assembled a lengthy list of what I want to provide our guests. And that’s what I had planned to elaborate on in this post—a wish list, of sorts. But then I started thinking about beliefs.
