What had happened was...... I'm Back!!!!
Did you miss me?
Hey y’all hey!!!
I hope this message finds you well and full of creativity! It's been quite a journey since my last blog post over five years ago, and I'm thrilled to announce that I'm back and more excited than ever to reconnect with you all.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support throughout the years and understanding during my absence. Life took me on a unique path, and I've been fortunate to spend these years embracing new experiences, growing as an individual, and honing my skills in all aspects of my life.
One of the two most important changes during my time away has been the most valuable time I've spent with my family and being present. Strengthening those bonds, watching my grandchildren grow, visiting with Aunts, Uncles, Besties and cherishing those unforgettable moments have been nothing short of a blessing.
The second was taking the time to take care of me. As you get older, things change. My health became a priority as a result. Faced with scares and challenges became an issue, I could no longer hold off on. While I work in healthcare daily, it was time for me to put my insurance benefits to work.
Another essential aspect of my journey has been my continued FAITH walk. My Faith journey has brought me a sense of purpose, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of life's meaning. It has been a transformative experience that has drawn me closer to God.
Like many, I faced challenges during the pandemic, particularly in dealing with Covid anxiety. The road to healing was not easy, but it allowed me to tap into the resilience and inner strength I never knew I had.
In my pursuit of personal growth, I drove deeper into the craft and stationery business, which has been incredibly rewarding. I've dedicated time to learning and training in this creative field, exploring new techniques, and nurturing my entrepreneurial spirit. I can't wait to share my latest crafting endeavors with you and inspire your own creative journey.
In addition to my crafting pursuits, I've still been working my 9-to-5 job in the healthcare world. While the outcomes are rewarding, it has put a strain on my energy that has carried over into my craft and business life. I’m still working on a full proof strategy to keep the balance.
Lastly, but certainly not least, I've had the opportunity to travel some and see family in one of my favorite cities, gaining fresh perspectives and inspiration along the way. I've collected countless stories, photos, and memories that you’ll be able to see on my social media channels.
Now, as I return to the crafting and entrepreneurial space, I'm filled with enthusiasm and a renewed sense of purpose. I'm bursting with creative ideas and projects that I can't wait to share with you all. The support and connection I've received from this community have been invaluable, and I'm committed to delivering valuable content and fostering a vibrant creative community.
I want to hear from you too! Please share your experiences, creative projects, and what you'd like to see on the blog in the future. Your input is essential in shaping the direction of this exciting journey we're embarking on together.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your unwavering belief in the power of creativity. I'm back, and I can't wait to embark on this new chapter with all of you.
Stay tuned for some exciting updates, tutorials, and inspiration coming your way soon. Be sure to follow me on all social media platforms - except Twitter (or whatever they said).
With gratitude and excitement,
Shawn
