If you know me at all, you know what I’m about to post was not an easy decision, but it was one made for the better of my health and family. I’m stepping away from Eden and Elm. I love this business and the community we’ve built together. It has been an INSANE 6 months. This journey God is walking me through is incredibly difficult. The stress of my illness alone is crippling. I used to find so much joy in my business, but recently it has turned to stress and cardiac episodes. I find myself unable to manage to even get out of bed some days. I’ve seen countless doctors and am a medical mystery. I’ve been on the hunt for a diagnosis which has finally taken me to UNC Chapel Hill with highly specialized doctors that are already taking strides in determining what’s going on. I was diagnosed with POTS, Raynauds, and arrhythmia, but we’re still hunting for the underlying cause. Anyone familiar with these diagnoses please reach out. I’d love to chat! With that being said, today’s winter release is cancelled. I hate this. It started with taking breaks while making scrubs and soaps, but now I struggle to even walk to the kitchen to make these products for you all. I went from climbing mountains one day to looking into walkers and wheelchairs the next. I never would have imaged the surgery, procedures, tests, and hospital stays. This is not a part of my plan, but that is an excellent reminder in itself. It’s not my plan, it’s God’s. Im just blessed to be the one living it. I know that statement sounds funny, but when you’re constantly battling death anxiety, you try and find hope wherever you go.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out whether that’s my health or about the business. Packages are going out this week. Those of you who have rewards, hold on to them. I’ll honor them when I come back. It may be a while (the plan is 6 months), but rest assured I WILL be returning! So this is see you later for now, but Ill see you next year. You’ll likely see me continue to post occasionally on my platforms. Im not doing this to confuse anyone, but to keep my profiles active. I love you all and am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. 💛✨
