ups and downs

Growing a business is not easy, but growing a business grows our hearts. On this journey we are becoming intertwined with diengie. It is so much a part of who we are and we are so much a part of what diengie is. Each and every up and down of business brings about strong emotions from each of us--and that can happen on a daily basis. It is so exciting, exhilarating even, when we get noticed. Recently a writer for a magazine-to-be-named-later emailed us about possibly including our bags in a Coffee Lover's issue. Whoa! We were overwhelmed at the prospects! Think of how many people will look at the magazine! What will we do if we get a great response from those people? So many questions and emotions swirled around in our brains. Then, there are times when we are discouraged by a lack of sales. Yet, through these ups and downs our hearts are growing and learning. This whole process is so much a part of who we are as individuals--Heidi, Karen and Angie. God is faithful to use the ordinary and seemingly mundane of business dealings to make and mold us into DI-EN-GIE. We are so hopeful for the future of diengie. And just like climbing a mountain, you face peaks and valleys before reaching the top, so we will as we continue to grow diengie.
