To the Houston County and surrounding communities,
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. A few individuals specifically, but you know who you are. Over the past couple of months, I have been dealing with overwhelming grief. I do not particularly like it when my personal life bleeds over into my professional life and vice versa. However and despite my best efforts, the grief that I have been dealing with ended up affecting the shop.
I was afraid if I was vulnerable and put myself out there, it would result in a negative response from the community. I have received the opposite. The amount of love and support that I've gained from my Houston County and surrounding customers and associates during this difficult time has not only been unexpected, but also extremely refreshing.
Our God is very alive and present here. I have had customers pray with and for me, gained different levels of advice and perspective. Y'all have made me feel loved and completely at home these last couple of months and that is something that I will never take for granted.
In addition to saying thank you, I must apologize to the community at large because of the speed bumps along the way. My services and capacity have not been up to the shops potential. However, I have since taken the necessary steps to ease my burden during this process. I can now say that the print shop is back to 100% production capacity and even have our first employee that will be learning the ropes and assisting in the growth of the business.
As always, I am very proud to be serving such a spiritual, loving, understanding and accepting community and I am still very excited to see what God has in store for me and my young venture as a business owner in Houston County and beyond. Especially as I move into my second year of business at the end of next month. I am thriving solely because of all of you. I only hope I can return the favor in kind.
From the absolute bottom of my heart,
THANK YOU,
Jared Stockton
Owner
