Reflecting on 2020

2020, what a year! A year that will surely go down in history and one that we will certainly not forget. Despite the chaos that was 2020, we are thankful we had the time to press pause, to count our blessings and reflect on what is good in our lives. There is no doubt, the beginning of 2020 was a bit of a rocky start. As we navigated through uncharted waters, we resurfaced stronger and more resilient than ever. Through creativity and teamwork, we were able to achieve some pretty phenomenal things!

In the midst of a pandemic, we began to move forward with our day to day operations, leaning on one another, coming up with creative ways to make Goodstone accessible to our in house guests, couples, and community. Following CDC guidelines, we put new packages and dining practices in place. Thankfully, LOVE was still celebrated, a lot of good food was enjoyed (to-go), and memories were created in a socially distanced setting. This was all possible thanks to our resilient and incredibly positive team. In fact, we are emerging from 2020 with some pretty big wins!
