What’s behind the name?
We know everyone has a Main Street. It’s what we present to the world. We want people to pass by, admire us, and wonder how we can be so well put together. We show off our pretty storefronts and well-manicured lawns and never intend to appear anything short of perfect.
Just beyond our Main Street, there’s Moss growing in the shadows. Sometimes we know the moss is there, sometimes it creeps up on us. But, we all have it. The thing about moss is, it can appear to be a beautiful part of the landscape. Sometimes we don’t even know it’s a problem until it’s choking out all the growth that should be happening around it.
At Moss and Main, we want to dig into your moss. We want to help you clear out the parts of your life that are keeping you from growing in ways you want to grow. We’re not here to change you. We’re here to show you that you can live the life you’re meant to live.
