Welcome

We all came from different parts of the world. All of us have colorful history, but even if you think you don't; you or someone in your family most likely does.
I want to share some interesting moments from my life. This will include: growing up in the communist country, leaving my home country of Poland, and coming to the United States. Meeting my wife and starting a family. Converting to the LDS church and starting my own business.

The End of the line

I am not sure how much longer I will keep my pastry shop open. I tried and tried, but yet I am not making enough to pay my bills. I will have to wait until my lease is over and then do something else. It is sad, but being short 200 per day it makes it hard being happy. I hear so many complements about my shop, my product, but complements wont pay the bills.

I am tired...

I'm feeling very low today. When your future depends on someone else choices, it's really hard to be patient.
So many people think that if you have a business you are set with money. I have a retail store and waiting for customers to walk through the door can be very stressful. The only way that my door is still open, is because I sale my jams and jellies to few stores. This summer it has been the slowest in 8 years. Even jams and jellies slowed for the summer. Currently I am so broke I cant even afford to get a gallon of milk. I have to get supplies from my vendors just so I can make product to sale. I still do that, but I don't pay them with a check. Now I pay everything on the credit cards. It would be ok if I could pay them off, but so far I got 2 of them maxed out and hopping for a miracle. I am tired, very tired...
