✨12.1.23✨
Tomorrow starts my journey !! I am over the moon about it! Change can be so scary, but this start feels the missing puzzle piece I’ve been searching for, for a very long time.
I handed in the keys to Collado earlier this week, it was a bazar yet freeing sensation. Change was much needed in my life and as many of you know I’ve talked about it for so long. Covid really opened my eyes into shifting my priorities. Starting at Blossom has allowed me to take a giant weight off of my shoulders. I really did love owning a business and I know I was good at it, however, there was something that shifted in me during this journey that I fell out of love with it. Change is so necessary and my time owning a business quickly humbled me into this realization. I think when business owners open a business we really don’t think about what closing it would be like. I know I didn’t. I think starting it was almost easier than closing it. I had SO many reservations about doing it because I not only had my wellbeing to care about but 3 other souls to worry about too. Not to mention the hundreds of beautiful people we tend to and care for on a regular basis.
2022 was when it really hit me that I don’t want to do this anymore. It took months for me to actually speak about my thoughts of closing let alone saying it to another human being. I felt guilty about even thinking it. How could I feel so heavy about something I created from the ground up. I should absolutely love it, right? Something I poured my heart and soul into. Truth is… it just happens. But slowly. It took a really long time to come to peace with it. It took even longer to accept that I was no longer “the business”. Almost like an ego death. It’s been such a big part of my life and it’s like I closed a casket on who I was … as dramatic as it sounds it literally felt like that. Business ownership has taught me to be resilient and persistent. It’s taught me to be patient and forgiving. To be frugal and scrappy. Sacrifice and to have open ended love. It’s taught me to have a backbone and to have tough conversations. The ability to say no (still working on this one) and many other lessons for which I am undoubtably thankful.
I have all the hope in my heart that I will own a business again in the future! Just in a much different way! For all of those people asking about what will happen with the cosmetic part of my business.. stay tuned 😏 I got something in the works for you!
Now if you’re still with me after this long message I just wanted to say a heart felt thank you to anyone who has shopped with me, gotten their brows or lashes done. Made unique and personal cosmetics. I thank you!!
