We all have a choice…. Do we want kindness or do we want hatred?
We all have a choice…. Do we want kindness or do we want hatred?
• This community has shown me both the best, and unfortunately the worst in people. These past few years have been a very difficult time and many are just quite simply unhappy with the world we are living in. Some people are just angry, frustrated and looking for someone or something to lash out about. Anyone working in the customer service industry can relate to this as we have all seen it in one form or another. Much of this we cannot change, but somethings we can. I know I cannot change the problems of the world but I also know each day I can do something, just one small thing, to make one person’s day a bit brighter. This is my motto I choose to live by.
• My family and I have done many good things for this community and for the people within it. It’s disheartening to receive hateful texts, Facebook messages, emails, letters mailed to my home, read negative posts and comments almost on a daily basis about us for years now. Many were cheering the closure of HHG and the laundry mat which is hard to believe. Every business is important and we have tried to support, help and promote other businesses however we can. To us, it’s a relief in many ways to close these businesses but also very sad as we truly hoped to serve the community. Even though our city businesses have closed, the negativity towards us still continues, much by people who even admit they have never ever even met us, only heard things. I have a file full of hateful comments and misinformation that has been said about us and often being said by people who moved from this area decades ago or by fake Facebook profiles. When will this ever stop? How do we make a better community we can all be proud of? It’s time to decide for yourself.
• So, I invite you, come meet me if you have not as others have. I will be at Alcona Brew Haus from the time we open until the time we close on both Friday and Saturday this week. If I can, I would love the opportunity to make your day just a bit brighter❤️
