No unicorns today, but maybe tomorrow…

I had forgotten this story until just now… in November I was with my husband and our two girls, and some friends of ours and their two children. Tina gave all four children a penny to throw in the fountain so that they could make a wish. My youngest daughter, 3 years old at the time, started to cry after she threw her penny in the fountain. Through her tears she explained to me that she wished she had a unicorn, but after the penny went into the pool, no unicorn appeared.

I tried to explain to her that when we make a wish, it doesn’t always happen immediately, and that sometimes we need to keep wishing in order to make it come true. Luckily for her, Christmas was around the corner and Santa Clause must have gotten wind of her wish because she received a unicorn in her stocking

Why did I suddenly recall this story from this past December – because I realized that today, I was having a “no unicorn day.” My wish and dream to grow Zoe Foods has had its challenges, and today feels like a day with few “wins.” Like my daughter, I too will keep wishing and working hard to make my dream to have Zoe’s Granolas and Zoe’s Bars available in retail stores throughout the country. Please share your dreams and wishes with me – I’d love to hear from you.
