Zoe Foods is a small, family-owned company that I founded eight years ago. The last eight years have been a roller coaster ride – especially trying to balance the full-time work of an entrepreneur with that of a young family. Your emails and support of Zoe Foods have made this ride worthwhile. My personal goal has never wavered. Inspired by my mom, I started Zoe Foods with a passion to make a difference. This blog is about just that – making a difference, whether it’s at home with your family, at work, and within our greater community - and the challenges we face in trying to do so.
I’m rushing to get this blog done so I can leave the office to meet my two girls at my cousin’s sons’ ice skating birthday party. My girls (ages almost 4 and 5 yrs old) have been asking me for the last several days to promise to leave work to meet them at the party. I wouldn’t promise despite their persistence. I only said that I would try really hard. Zoe Foods is going through so many changes and the industry is changing, that I never know what is going to come up. As a small company, there’s only one other person who can pick up my work, and I didn’t think it fair to dump my work on someone else so I can go to a party with my kids. Then I realized… they’re not going to be 4 and 5 for very long, and before I know it they won’t need my help skating, nor even want me there. Missing a couple of hours of work really won’t make or break the company, so off I go!
I’d love to hear how you try to make a difference in the lives of others and the challenges you face. More later…
