I have some explaining to do. I’ve been missing from my social media presence for quite a few months now, and missing from farmers markets almost entirely. Mostly for good reasons, but also some difficult ones. Unlike the typical hyper-capitalist or materialist business venture, where profit dictates all, my well-being is actually first in healing work. And upon that foundation, the rest is always laid. However, my clients mean so much to me, so here’s why I’ve been missing:
This year, I became an aunt, started planning my wedding, adopted a beautiful puppy, traveled plenty, reconnected with family, and made tons of progress in organizing and decluttering my home and workshop (a project now two years in the making). Perhaps best of all, I got to spend seven entire months every single day with my fiancé , as he was in disability leave for a surgery. However, there have been lots of tough times: I’ve been dealing with chronic and debilitating back pain since the new year (and I was well on my way to healing until a re-injury in July). I had to deal with (a still somewhat ongoing) true “worst roommate ever” situation , a dangerous and malicious person who took advantage of my kindness and trusting personality. I had what should have been a wonderful surprise in my life turn into a couple weeks of pain, loss, and frustration at my body’s own shortcomings. I continue to heal from all the things that once hurt, and I continue to learn how to handle in a healthier manner all the new hurts life will inevitably bring, so I can always stand back up, stronger and faster.
My goal and passion to heal and to share amazing products has only just begun, and as always, I appreciate endlessly your patience and support ❤️❤️
