Gillian Hartley, thank you so, so much ๐ฅน๐ฅน What a truly lovely surprise ๐ค
I honestly canโt tell you how much this means to me. I doubt myself and question whether Iโm doing enough more than people probably realise, especially when it comes to my little business. So itโs the smallest acts of kindness and moments like this that remind me that maybe I am doing something right, and they really do help build my confidence back up. ๐ค
I donโt have a huge team behind me. Itโs just me doing the flowers, the admin, the social media, organising, planning, ordering stock and everything else that comes with running a business. Iโm incredibly lucky to have the support of my partner and my mum, who help me more than they probably realise, but I still do it all around my little family and everything that comes with being a mum.
Some days are hard. Some days Iโm exhausted, overwhelmed and wonder how Iโm going to fit everything in. I definitely have my moments where I moan and question myself ๐ but underneath all of that, I genuinely love what I do. I love my little shop, I love creating, and Iโve poured so much of my heart, time and energy into building this business.
It may be a little business, but it means an awful lot to me. ๐ค
So for someone to take the time to recognise it and show such kindness honestly means more than I can put into words. Thank you for reminding me that all the long days, late nights and hard work are worth it. ๐ฅน๐ค
