π SUNDAY THOUGHTS π
Long post alert ... which may be a tad too personal for some ... you have been warned π
Well you may (or may notπ€·ββοΈ) have noticed I've been very quiet, and sometimes absent, from SM for some time.
This has been a conscious choice to
A. Enable me to focus on other priorities
B. Protect my emotional and mental health
C. Live my life free of interference
D. Remember why I started this business in the first place.
E. Work out if this why still works for me
I'd love to say I have things all worked out, but life isn't like that is it π
What I do know is that ... whilst I'm fundamentally the same person I've always been, with the same values and beliefs ... I've changed.
Without going into detail, the past few years have tested me, I have been subjected to things that have brought me to my knees and almost broken me.
This has forced me to change, to look at myself, to see my part in allowing this.
For a while I lost myself completely, or ... more truthfully, I didn't even know who I was anymore.
With the help of some very special family and friends ( and surprisingly people I've only met a few times plus relative strangers ) I'm starting to remember.
It's an interesting journey rediscovering who you are, who you always were, when you're free of other peoples words in your head.
Why am I sharing this ?
Because I feel the need to be honest and authentic about what is happening
Because someone else may be going through a similar thing and I want them to know they're not alone
Because lots of you have been on this Copper and Ash Interiors journey with me from the beginning and I appreciate you more than you know
I'm coming back
Things may be different
I'm clearing space for new beginnings
Keep watching
Love

I'll leave you with a wee piece of whilst the world is going crazy.
