2024 I'm Not Mad at It

But I don't want to do it again.

2024 started in November 2023. 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, the life I had known for 15 years came to a hard STOP. To say I was devasted, depressed, lost, these words seem just not to fit how low I was.

I had started a new business venture, moved out of my styling studio space into a new shop in less than 30 days, and moved out of what was my home for 15 years in 3 days. 

Anyway, it was rough.  I walked around in circles through the fog for 12 long months.

I can feel the fog lifting these days, and I’m settling into my new life. December was great for the business; the shop and my clients are a huge source of inspiration and hope. Right now, I’m satisfied giving all my love to myself, my little family, my cat, and number46. I feel hopeful again. Grief takes time; patience has not always been my thing, but I’m practicing. 

I have some big life changes to prepare for in the next year or two. I must get strong and healthy, be as focused as possible, say goodbye to ways that no longer serve me and probably never did, and get serious with me.

The business and styling give me creative fulfillment. I love what I do professionally and look forward to seeing more of you more often.

I promise to discuss the shop, styling, and other fun topics in future posts.  

It was healing for me to start here. Being authentic is not always popular, but I’d rather be authentic than popular.  

Here’s to hope, goals, intentions, and the fog lifting.

Happy New Year!
