There is a constant pressure doing what I do and putting myself out there for everyone to see. Because truth is you will never make everyone happy. I know I am not untouchable. I know there are consequences for my actions. I know that things can change in an instant. I do not take it for granted. I will always continue to learn. I will always continue to grow until I no longer exist.

I would had never imagined in this lifetime having the power of so many beautiful and passionate people right here to always see me through.

I only want to use it for good. I never want to see people suffer. Even those who do not understand or know me. Even those who wish ill on me. Even those who hurt me. I only pray, dream, and hope that everyone can experience internal peace and happiness despite our differences or our hardships. It's a fight worth fighting. Don't give up!

I am beyond thankful and I am blessed to have connected with all of you on this journey.

I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Sunday and gets to spend it making memories that last a lifetime. I know that is what I will be doing.

Much love,
The Patio

Just so The Patio does not have to be spelled out as a hidden message. I am going to snip this in the butt very quickly as heart breaking as it is. I know that sometimes when things dont work out the way you want. It is easier to push the blame on someone else now leaving me to look like a monster and pubicly defend myself. There were far more than this instance that occurred that led up this happening.

She never gave me a doctor's note. Nor would she have had to. All she had to do was tell me that she needed time off. That was not the issue.

She came in and said she might have to leave in the middle of the shift. I asked her if she wanted me to find someone to cover because I did not want to be stranded.

She got upset and told me she would leave now. Went outside and then came back in being argumentative 3 or 4 times. There was never an ill intent. I simply asked if I needed to get a shift filled so I could still be open without everyone being stressed which happened the day before when she came in and then left after getting there. She could have taken as much time off as she wanted. She said she wanted to work. She asked if she still had a job before leaving. I stated that if she wanted to think about what happened and send me a message after then thats fine.

Yes I let her bring her daughter so she could still work as I know it can be hard being a mother. I consoled her all week and the weeks before for other things that weren't related to this instance. However I will say the post that was made speaks for itself in my opinion. I never want anyone to go through a hard time but I work too hard to be taken down with it either and still I hope she gets to a better place.

Please share

Thank you for an amazing lunch. I apologize for things getting a little frazzled around the noon hour as I had an order for 16 going out at the same time. Appreciate you all.

So I had this great idea that since tonight is the concert on the square ....

I am going to offer a box tenderloin with 2 buns and one regular side tonight for $14!!! So you can easily take it up to the square and enjoy some music!

Tenderloins and fish until we run out this evening!

Do I have any friends that can offer some extra hands tonight. Send me a message please!

Guess what time it is!!

Even after the 10 minute detour to get into wal mart parking lot this morning... I still couldn't wait to share the fact that there is something beautiful about the fact the best lighting comes through this window of my little 10x20 shed. Lets me know I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

Hog wings and strips on special today....

Beautiful DJ Bre on the music tonight and myself today.

While hogs may not actually have wings they do at The Patio.

In all honestly I believe everyone does. Some just keep them tucked away for different reasons. So here is to the next chapter of stepping into the right light. No more shrinking ourselves down or making ourselves feel small at tables we dont belong at. Id love to have you at mine anytime.
Where you are seen and you are appreciated.

It may not look like paradise right now but with the good vibes and a little imagination it will be a nice break from the day. BTW I dont always want to shove tenderloins down your throat. If you want something healthier I also make a bomb ass grilled chicken sandwich.

So when you see me soaked in sweat in this 100
degree shed, just know you are the one appreciated!

Welcome to Paradise.
