Hi dreamers,
After a whirlwind of changes - along with the change in season - and feeling a little under the weather, I am happy to be back online.
*
I had been feeling burnt out, disconnected with myself and others, and kind of tired with my creativity. After some quality time reconnecting with loved ones, taking a breather, and resting, I am feeling recharged and fine to move onward.
**
This year, I've been met with deepening my understandings around: death, letting go, nurturing myself/relationships, respecting rest and practicing it, reviving the spirit, and starting anew. I shed another layer of skin.
I came across this quote that felt like a good summary of these lessons, and is now the quote on my landing page: "We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same." by writer Carlos Castaneda.

Life will happen to us in all kinds of forms - through happy moments, through trauma, everything. We can choose to push through the tough times, enjoy the good times, and persevere in life. And, we can hold onto the bad, forget the good around us, and survive through life. There's a big difference.

As I come back and reflect, I feel so thankful to have made the leap with this space. It has been fun to share this journey with you all and give myself the confidence and motivation I have needed to continue my practice.
*
I'm able to look at the statistics of the site, and have had visitors from all around the world!
(P.S., I haven't added any international rates yet; if there is interest - reach out and let your girl know!!)
*
I've made sales, vended in person, made simple mistakes and had failures, and continue onward at a pace that works for me. Whether you've followed my journey from the get go, or are landing here now - thank you for being here.

As I jump back into this space, I'm excited to share that I have hopefully 1-2 events lining up in the near future, and have listed a new offering in the shop - stickers! Eco-friendly, super colorful, and based on my mandala paintings.

As for the last Do Good sale, no sales of selected items were made, and that's okay. I'm happy to at least try, and this fail won't stop me from continuing these opportunities to share the wealth and do good.
