Our long-time member, resident minister, business advisor and facilitator of our entrepreneurs coaching group, Rev. Devin Green shared this post about the Grief we need to recognize at the same time as Gratitude during the “Thanksgiving” holiday week. We wanted to share it with you.

After buying the building at auction, we faced many vacant spaces and no incoming tenants. The need for coworkHERS filled a void in Portland that we never knew existed.

Not many people know that prior to starting coworkHERS I was one of the co-founders of Haberdashery Resale Clothing Co.

My friend Jenny the now-current owner was a colleague of mine at a marketing company. After we were both laid off from our jobs, we did what anyone would do, we went “therapy shopping” but for us it was only thrifting…and we did it a lot.

As a parent, I know full well the relief and the freedom that comes with kids going back to school. With the return of regular school schedules, I can more easily plan my workday and focus on my own responsibilities and needs. This newfound freedom allows me to be more productive and efficient at work, while also having peace of mind knowing that my children are in a safe and structured environment during the day.
