🌷 R E C O V E R 🌷
Today marks a year from a major event that took place over the course of an evening and ended in the shop the following morning. If you were visiting a year ago, you will know we had the local police in the shop and parked up outside for hours whilst taking statements in my kiln room & attic 🙃
In that year I’ve been to Hell and back many times. But each time, a part of me heals. I get stronger. More resilient and louder when it comes to standing up for what’s right.
You might be wondering why I’m writing this with a photo of Wiz. Wiz was involved in that event. She is my heart dog. And together we have walked miles and miles in recovery.
The truth is, when you are a domestic abuse survivor, you feel so completely and utterly alone. Even when someone is right there on the sofa next to you. The pits of darkness are consuming. The silence is loud and the loud is disorientating.
Running a business through that survival has been war. But one that I won, and continue to win. Not without some scars and fears along the way.
I have an amazing team. I have incredible friends and family. A network now that is the glue that’s kept me together. My shop is my purpose and surviving the last 12 months took everything.
Is it easy? No. It’s absolutely awful.
But you can survive it.
You can build on shells and broken souls.
You’ve allowed me to heal when you bring your families here. Witnessing love and connection of all dynamics brings a warmth that was all but forgotten to me.
Nobody should endure abuse.
But if we speak about it, maybe more of us can survive it.
Talking freely on my page is for me, but I wanted you all to know what part you’ve played in my survival the last 12 months.
Forever grateful for what I have.
