    Going into its third month of business, The Aspen Hive is already making its mark on the community. “Having a local store, I try to keep the prices down and affordable for locals to shop in, but also there’s something to be said for the change in Aspen, and we’re trying to keep it as local and small as possible,” Jankowski said. “To have something that people feel like they can shop in town is, to me, very important, and it’s also been quite humbling to see who really supports you.”

A jewelry lover’s paradise, the shop features new jewelry pieces by American-based designers and female goldsmiths.

    Bold Journey

    My advice for people early in their journey is JUMP! Take the leap! It sounds a little silly but “trust the path” and if it fails it’s ok! You will learn a lot from it. And even if it feels like it's spinning out of control and not happening… dont worry. It will. Just keep being proactive. Its not easy but it then somehow some way… happens.
