I almost let the entire month of May pass in silence. But tonight, before the sun sets, I refuse to let my hard work go unnoticed.
On May 9th, Cyan Candle Co. officially turned 6 years old. šÆļøāØ
If Iām being completely honest, Iām not exactly where I thought I would be by Year 6. But looking back, I have to remember how this brand was actually born.
When my mother passed away in 2018, I didnāt have the luxury of time to grieve. Just one month before, I welcomed my youngest child into the world. As a single mother who has always worked a full-time job while raising my kids and my niece, I had to keep moving. There was no room to stop.
But when 2020 hit and the world locked down, the grief I had been running from finally caught up to me. In that forced stillness, the memories flooded back, and I had no choice but to face them. Out of that raw, therapeutic purging, Cyan Candle Co. was born. It was my liferaft.
For six years, Iāve been putting one foot in front of the other. Iāve balanced a heavy career, the beautiful chaos of single motherhood, opening spaces, moving suites, and testing ideas that didnāt always land. And recently, losing my dad brought me completely full circle, forcing me right back into the roots of why I began this healing work.
Cyan Candle Co. is no longer just a standard candle shop. Over the last year, I have fully stepped into my purpose, operating holistic and spiritually-based services alongside my products under Daughter of the Root with Cyan Candle Co.
I am still maneuvering the pieces, and I am still finding my permanent footing in the midst of lifeās shifts. It hasnāt been easy, but I am still here. I am still holding space.
To everyone who has supported me over these 6 years, thank you for walking this path with me. The flame is still burning. š©µ
