Melinda Poehlmann Happiness is an old man with a beer and a Malinois sitting near t-shirt Please also find time for your dreams, Josephine!! I know that’s so much easier said than done and I’m not a good example of it at all, but you deserve that too . Your family was her soul family. Priceless! . Josephine, I hope you read this. I found your stories and reflections about the pizzeria very compelling. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s feel that way. You had a dream to illustrate a children’s book, and responsibilities got in the way. But maybe you can still pursue that dream? Your stories would make a wonderful book and you could illustrate it! You could even call it something fun like, “Slice of Life: Stories from a Brooklyn Pizzeria”. I believe it’s never too late to honor dreams based on our gifts and talents, it’s just that we may not take the path we first envisioned to get there. Certainly working 14 hour days doesn’t leave you much time. But I hope you won’t give up on your dreams. I believe in you!

There are some great lessons in her story. Those little transactions, all our little moments, really are precious. I hope she gets to illustrate that book someday. Maybe she’ll write it herself about life being made up of our little moments.. Tricia Ransom You think you’re just making pizza, but in reality you are making relationships, and giving hope and friendship to people who may not have anyone else. In essence, you are helping them to illustrate their lives. And that is a very worthwhile endeavor. . How sweet! My grandmother’s name was Marlene, my middle name is after her & if I ever have a girl I hope I can have her middle name as Marlene too. A small connection but it made me smile so much awesome work miss Josephine!. Love this! Been in the restaurant business for 25+ years and I’ve met so many amazing people! We get so close to people, we share our stories, grieve with them when one of their loved ones dies, we see the people who come in alone every day and we sit with them as often as we can, we also notice them on Holidays when you know they have family close by, but are still alone and we do our best to be their family on those days. I love the service industry!
