Curious about people's take.

We would love to install an automatic door opener to make it easier for our customers in mobility devices to visit. This is a big expense that we cannot spring for in less than two years of being in business, though. It looks like it would probably be about $4,000.

Would you support a crowdfunding campaign to help us cover the cost of installing an automatic door opener?

Pros? Cons? Other considerations?

We are so honored to host Dr. Melissa Bird tonight for her book, Leading from the Heart!

"Leading from the Heart is an invitation into what Dr. Melissa Bird calls the Graceful Revolution. Not the leadership of seven habits and five-step frameworks, but something older and more honest: the recognition that we are all grieving, that we do not have all the answers, and that the both/and is always richer than the either/or."

Join us for an evening of seeing and being seen, connecting, and learning to lead from the heart.

Staff pick! Ali is loving the newest Elizabeth Mitchell anthology, Clocks.

"Seventeen short stories inspired by—you guessed it—clocks. Each will make you question the characters’ reality, or your own. Perfect for spooky season!"

Plus, that cover will make you swoon.
