The weeks around Christmas are usually a time of caring for stressed out clients and anxious gift certificate buyers at A to Zen. This year has been a bit different to say the least.
Instead, it is the start of an “intermission” for A to Zen as we have decided to officially pause operations and say goodbye to our space on State Street. Yes this was a very difficult choice and one I have struggled with for months. However, our landlord’s requirement of a new multi-year lease in this uncertain time was a blessing in disguise as it made the decision for me.
Last week Mary, Mark, Silvia, Andrew, Ke’Andre, Jo and I began to pack up the spa .Today, a “pod” will be delivered so we can store most everything from A to Zen and have it easily moved to a new location when COVID is under control and we find our new home.
Though we will miss our special space on State Street, we are so grateful for the seven years A to Zen has been there. I have been in that location for over 14 wonderful years total and feel like I am leaving my home.
However, I am excited about the options for re-opening when we get to the other side of this “adventure” and time. This may be a few or many months from now. The future is just too uncertain to know at this point. While the new vaccines make us hopeful this will be sooner rather than later, there are no guarantees and so we patiently pause for now.
Rather than being sad about this change, I am choosing to look at this as an opportunity for new experiences for everyone connected to A to Zen, and invite you to do so. Even though the spa is closed right now, the spirit and intention of A to Zen can be open, alive and well in ALL of us! Consider this:
- Wherever we are and whatever we do, we can all choose to create or be “a place” of healing for every person we meet.
- We can all choose to “love our clients” and others in our lives.
- We can choose to create an atmosphere and aura of caring, calm and peace inside ourselves and around us wherever we are.
- We can choose to help those around us succeed and to help others because we can make a difference in both our lives by doing so.
