Mom, daughter find beauty in change

A woman and her sister visited Jackson & Hines this week because they read an article in the newspaper about us. They said the article was intriguing and interesting. Another customer said it was inspirational. When the Democrat and Chronicle called and said they wanted to write a story about us – why I left my corporate world to open a small boutique and why my daughter moved from Manhattan to Rochester to be part of the business- I did not know what to expect. But Elena and I both enjoyed telling our stories to the newspaper writer. We had no script nor had we prepared in any way what we wanted to say. We just shared from our hearts. We laughed and even cried up a bit as we related the work we have done over the past year to create and open Jackson & Hines. As I sat through the interview- sharing and listening – my passion for the business continued to grow. I love running this business. Creating this business has allowed me to connect with so many people. Strangers have walked into Jackson & Hines and left as friends. Creating this business has allowed me to connect with people on line. People I do not know and probably will never meet. But people who have allowed me joy with filling an order that I hope not just met their needs, but far exceeded their expectations. Doing this article about Jackson & Hines in the Democrat and Chronicle has reinforced for me the beauty we each have inside and I hope that each encounter with Jackson & Hines will allow us each to discover this inner beauty.
