Rumors can hurt people

Remember the old telephone game where you whisper something into someone’s ear, it goes around the circle and the story comes out totally different from reality.

Some people will hurt others by their vicious words with gossip and rumors. They have nothing better to do with their time.

People who started businesses in town wants to fulfill their dreams. Sometimes life can get in the way. They don’t make it, or they get sick, of things happen in their lives.

I have built my reputation in town for 8 years. From closing my coffee shop, I have heard rumors. It always comes back to me.

Just remember to keep rumors away.
