Morning folks. Id like to clarify a few things that have popped up in my recent "break" from things.
1. I am not ditching business .... im taking a break. A break is necessary to pour back into my own cup. Planning has taken a hold of my life and I started to find myself really just not living in the moment. Its exhausting. We all have personal crap. Mine started really catching up.
2. Im not breaking away and going on my own. I have a personal page. Dont we all? Im using my personal page and rebranding to literally do what was said in step one. Finding myself. In the midst of planning and not living in the moment; ive lost my sauce. Im trying to reignite my fire.
3. I want to actually do things π«£. For me. No shade or hate on anyone. I have a lot of ideas, a lot of things I always say I want to do... but again. Ive been committed to business and those wants are consistently being pushed to "later" .... well, when the hell is later?
Later is NOW.
Over the last few years ive been handed a lot of grief. Its catching up with me and ive got no where to really place it. Being creative allows me to put my emotion somewhere.... however, refer back to 1 2 and 3 ... ive been so caught up in the future, planning ... ive dismissed the now..
Mental health is important. And yes. I am breaking off on my own personal little joy journey this summer. Im making time for the trips ive said time and time again ive wanted to do. Im making time for classes ive wanted to take. Im making time for yard sales and attending craft fairs ... as a consumer .. for once!!!
Im making the time because it truly is so short. My wheel hit a wrench and I had to readjust. Im not abandoning anyone.. our store. Our space. Or, our classes .... im just pausing for a time. For once.
βοΈ much love and much peace to all my crafty babes who've been on our journey since the grip of it all. Theres so much gratitude to express for the support of what we do and continue to bring to the table.
Ill be back in the fall. I promise .... with a less chaotic way of doing things. There will be new policies in place that, respectfully, must happen. Because I am a human , too. And just because we are small business runners doesnt mean I have to accomodate and please every single thing that flies into my inbox (again, no shade).
Reevaluating myself and making a few pivots so I dont find myself in another burnout phase. π thats all.
Enjoy your summer and stay crafty π₯°
If youre interested in following my personal journey ... come on over.
There's a new beginning waiting.... we are just on an uncharted map searching for it. π
