A Loving Nana, A Vision-A Drop by Cafe with Joy & Great Food

Greetings and thank you for your interest in my journey.

********THE CAUSE********

There is a need for this Vision - I am unemployed for over a year now with no prospects to follow up on. It's, Me, Myself and I.

YOU CAN HELP

I am truly excited about this venture. I have always been a self starter, innovative and enjoy being in control of my destiny. I find Joy interacting with people, especially with diversity of cultures. I have been granted my hearts desire over the past thirty work years. Recently, I've been unemployed which hasn't been a thought for over 30 years. I felt ashamed and assaulted all at once.

Life requires our best at all times and has so many expectations of you; there are people who are waiting on you to arrive to assist with ushering them to embrace an area of your gifting. I have tried to be that person all of my life with a sober mind knowing that everyone is going to fall short from time to time. I did not give myself a way out. I've found Joy in the work accordingly in each position.

I have always known that entrepreneurship was tide to my destiny - I am forced to purpell a platform to capture resources needed to bring this Vision into realization. Heavenly Delights has produced so much hope for me today.

Things happen sometimes that we can't control or foresee. I thought about this project in a different form years ago; it wasn't time yet. My first question was why and how did I allow these unfortunate events in "My" life. I know we as individuals can't control the trends in employment such as innovation, using more AI, down sizing, workforce changes, industry vulnerability and events such as these.

Making Lemonade when life deals you lemons-the oldest spend but most positive cliche for this embarrassing change is nice but only temporary because life was interrupted and it's demands are real and immediate. A feasible plan with immediate revenue is the answer. I have NO choice but to have Faith for what is meant to destroy me is now being used to launch me into a safe and prosper goal.

Was I disappointed to be in such a vulnerable state, yes, hurt as well but it hasn't stopped me because I am a determined woman whose Purpose for life incorporated a challenged, hopeful, and confident disposition.

I have a few plans for my Vision of Mookie's Heavenly Creations. I am a pretty good writer; at least I believe so. I want to be Great but I am not there yet. My written creations were supposed to be first because as the corporation is designed to be a Limited Liability Corporation. My immediate need has forced me to develop a new stream of income. Starting my first business subsidiary, Mookie's Heavenly Delights, a Drop by Cafe located at my home.

The Costs



This market will cause for at least two banquet pans per day as well as a backup pan. In addition the plan is must have one backup supply and to have family orders available upon special call in request as required. Pastries and Pies available for slices only unless given a 2-days prior request is processed.

This idea to become an entrepreneur in the food industry comes out of the fact that I have culinary skills that were mostly self developed while being the oldest of six and sometimes twelve children at meal times. I grew up under the tutoring of my Grandma and my Uncle John who was a Chef. They both are proud I am sure.

My Son, Clarence learned initially how to cook from me which helped propel his career in Culinary Arts. He has been a Su-Chef at Cliff Bell's, Downtown Detroit, Lead cook at two locations for the Starter's Franchise, Kitchen Manger for several restaurants, and now Coney Island. I am always proud to let everyone know that my son acquired his skills from me

I referred to my written creations; I write both fiction and non-fiction. I, on occasion write creatively. A few years ago I wrote over 50 songs within two months. This was the first time writing in that magnitude. I give songs to those on a personal basis as well as by request. A Beautiful Psalmist, who's currently recording, was given quite a few songs at no cost and documented a no claims contract after hearing her say that she needed material. I also developed some Worship songs for Sunday services which was a Blessing in it's time. Suddenly the songs started to stop coming; the flow only comes periodically.

Another side of my gifting is the ability to listen (those who know me personally won't agree) I am a counselor to many which requires an empathetic listener, and I a proven motivational speaker.

This Vision will provide immediate success as well, purely because it will employ myself and one floater contingent person.

I have plans for a kickoff in just three months. My budget is $18,600 from start to full production. As production increases will become an independent Business. This plan will float the venture for 6 months while allowing it to take root and grow.

The Cafe will be open for full service Friday-Saturdays 9 am - 1 pm for breakfast and brunch. After 1 pm the Cafe is open for full service until 8 pm. Monday's through Thursday's customers will be encouraged to call for availability and special orders. Monday through Thursday will be administrative and preparation. I have to control the flow of business because it must remain concise and streamline enough for me to be able to maintain alone.

The funds will solely support the opening and operation for the Cafe and serve as a vehicle to help create income to invest in a retirement account. Although I've worked most of my life, raised four children and eleven grandchildren. Against my stepfather's warnings I failed to thin about myself and my future.

I have been a key supporter in my family since I was nine years old. My Mom died when I was seven years old leaving myself a four siblings and a wonderful first cousin Who's lovingly my little brother. It was taxing but rewarding to be brought up by my Grandma who took us all on single handedly. She was strong and determined which gave me a healthy outlook on life. I consider myself strong and dependable because of my unique childhood. Throughout my childhood and especially in my teens, I was her right hand. The leadership and support service skills I developed were dynamic by the time I entered employment. Grandma trained me well; out of Love and necessity. She created in me what our family needed. She gave us her all, she left nothing for herself and that became my number one Love Language.

No one warned me that I it would not be selfish to hold a little finances back for my future when the workforce no longer had a place for me. I'm unemployed and been so over one year. Many medical occurrences robbed me of my relevance and most recently my dignity. I have held great positions which provided the support I now need.

I've tried building a partnership in my earlier years which lacked a common purpose and lack of trust. I want to start out doing what my life has produced... I am a Great home cook and lately have taken steps to develop my own creations, thinking out of the box have cooked some really good dishes and pastries. I am Ready for an adventure but I find myself with a Dream and no funds.

I am a Customer Relations Guru. I am Great with People; especially with services. I am better with business bookkeeping and business planning than most laymen. I have supported others to obtain their hope and dreams for most of my life; why not do it for myself? Yes! Is what I said to myself. I hope to build Mookie's Heavenly Delights Drop By Cafe specializing in home style meals, soul food, and pastries.

I will need many items: legal counsel, Food Handler's Certificate, Vendor's Certificate insurance, banquet settings, cabinets, portable cafe tables chairs, a freezer, deep fryers, mixers and many other items for production and excellent products.

I also invite some of your thoughts... Come join me and help me make Mookie's Heavenly Delights, A Drop By Cafe a successful addition to my community.
