Famous from Shakespeare‚Äôs Romeo and Juliet, Juliet Capulet (whose family is adamantly opposed to the Montague‚Äôs) asks Romeo Montague, ‚ÄúWhat‚Äôs in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.‚Äù Maybe the flower would smell the same (even with another name), but would it elicit the same emotion? So what‚Äôs in a name? Significance. Identity. Legacy. In a name we claim ownership of who we are and what we stand for. We defend the honor of a name in ways that transcend generations and time. The Rockefeller‚Äôs, Kennedy‚Äôs and Carnegie‚Äôs - the list goes on and on. In the world of sports we claim our favorite teams, and cheer obnoxiously with ownership when we have nothing to do with the outcome. In the fashion world we desire to obtain certain brands because of the association with the name (or label) is important. We have reset the table and are inviting you to pull up a seat and enjoy the next chapter with us. Lord & Lady is now Cape House. We will continue to provide everything that makes a house a home - and while the name may have changed, our passion has never been greater. We can‚Äôt ignore the fact this has humbled us AND reminded us how blessed we are to be in this position. Lesson learned, check. More time, effort and financial investment than we anticipated, check. Greater potential, check. This has become part of the story we will share for years to come. A new name becomes part of our identity and part of the legacy we create. And history has proven some of the most significant legacies that ever developed didn‚Äôt occur because the individuals involved planned for it. Bringing our faith into perspective is important because we built this business on the foundation that God has blessed us to be a blessing. We have been positioned to pursue people and relationships for something so much greater than a ‚Äúhome and hospitality‚Äù store, a commitment that will supersede a name change. Abram didn‚Äôt plan to become the ‚Äúfather of nations‚Äù at the age of 99. But God had a plan and Abram was willing. He became Abraham and his wife Sarai became Sarah, and had a child when she was 90.¬† A great and powerful nation was born through them and all nations on earth were blessed through Abraham. Jacob took the backseat to his older brother, and through manipulation stole his brother‚Äôs birthright, deceitfully received another blessing that wasn‚Äôt intended for him and then wrestled with God. In the end he was given the name Israel because he struggled with God and humans and overcame. Saul, who persecuted the early church, was literally (cue Manfred Mann) Blinded by the Light and then became the Apostle Paul, arguably one of the greatest individual historical influences. What‚Äôs in a name is significant, and we are even more excited about what the future has in store for Cape House. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and encouraged us through this chapter. We look forward to writing the next one with you. A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.¬†Proverbs 22:1
