Hey guys, let’s talk about something real.
Lately, I’ve been in a massive creative slump. The last few times I sat down to create new pieces for JM Minerals, nothing turned out right. In my eyes, it just wasn't it. I realized I was forcing myself to create out of obligation rather than inspiration, and you can't force art.
If you’ve noticed that the retail shelves haven’t been updated in about a month and a half, this is why. As a small business owner and an artist, I refuse to put pieces out into the world that I don't love and feel proud of. You deserve my best, not my forced.
The good news? I used this stagnant energy to completely clean, re-organize, and prep my office. The space is almost spotless and ready to go. The desire to create isn't quite there yet, but I'm honoring the pause and letting my battery recharge.
To any fellow creatives or business owners out there going through it right now...the slump is legit. Give yourself grace.
The spark always comes back.
Thank you all for supporting me and choosing my creations, trusting my process, and sticking by me even during the quiet seasons. ✨
