August 2019 Wrap-up
[image error]
Hello! This is the last post of August 2019, which means it is time for the August 2019 Wrap-Up! Each month I will be doing a quick wrap-up of whatever went down with me, my businesses, the community, and the world. Here is August 2019 in a nutshell:
August flew by this year, but it wasn’t without its own set of ups and downs.
My AugustFor me this month has been a lot of buckling down with my goals. Probably the most exciting thing (which I am just now announcing), was that I have completed ALL the requirements for my Associate’s Degree in under a year ! I am now waiting on transcripts to go through, then will apply for completion and get my degree. :)
I have also been working on setting up a book tour for The 2nd Book of Random Thoughts, though due to business obligations, I have made the decision to cut the tour down by quite a bit.
I will be, however, attending the Wellsboro BookFest in October, which will be my first book-centric event and I am absolutely hyped!
August for BusinessMy new business, Sustainably Essential, is finally up and running after a long and laborious struggle with a supplier issue - although there is still a lot of work to be done in sorting the products for ease of browsability.
Basil E. Bacorn Books, Art, and More (along with the rest of my ventures) had run into a rough spot that has unfortunately done a lot of damage to the financials of the company. Basically, we are struggling.
I decided to post this on Facebook this month, essentially just asking the community to stop by. As I wrote in the post, I have so many plans for this business and for Athens and my community, but those plans will go nowhere if I have to close my doors. Be on the look-out for a post regarding my thoughts on the potential Athens, PA has to become a THRIVING town. When it’s up, I’ll link to it here.
Halloween preparations are well underway, which may explain why my last post was about ghosts. The biggest thing as of right now are preparations for the store’s store within a store: the Spooktober Shoppe. If you are interested in becoming a consigned vendor for the Spooktober Shoppe, shoot an email to sales@bebbam.com.
A Community AugustI’d have to say the news of the month is certainly the opening of Mooney’s Athens location. The project had been in the works all summer and now they are finally open for business! The most exciting thing for me about the store’s new “Parking Lot Neighbors” is that they are pushing the Athens nightlife to 11pm! That also means I can eat there after I get out of work, even on my late days!
I am not a food blogger, but when I do my review of the new Mooney’s location, I will link that post here.
August for the WorldThe 45th G7 Summit was held in France this month. There are also continuing protests in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, I am not informed enough to comment further on these events at this time.
I will say that the Amazon is on fire, and you can read more about that in the article I wrote for Sustainably Essential here.

And that’s that for August 2019! My recap/wrap-up skills are weak, but hopefully, in a few months, I’ll be a pro. Until then, thanks for reading and feel free to sound off in the comments! :)
