Finding Beauty in the Pandemic
How are you adjusting to this new way of life? It is affecting all of us differently as we come to terms with living with what feels like being on another planet. I pray this finds you healthy and well.
I began quarantining on March 13th. I remember this because my birthday was March 15th and I celebrated with just my daughter and dog!
In over a month I’ve had my ups and downs – as I’m sure all of us have – but I must admit I’ve been feeling quite blessed for this time. I took the word "Busy" out of my vocabulary and schedule.
Aside from baking LOTS to creating and making beaded suncatchers as gifts to walking 10,000 steps per day with my dog…I have taken the time to breathe, meditate, dance in my living room, do yoga, connect with friends and family on long phone calls and sleep in every day. It’s the best I’ve felt in a long time minus the missing fun and my seeing my friends on Main St. and holding Ecstatic Dances.
However, I have had a BIG Aha moment during this time. I read a social media post that said, "If there’s one thing you should STOP doing right now what is it?" In my head, I clearly heard, "My business". This shocked me! I’m coming up to 25 years in my business, what did the universe mean?
All of a sudden I felt a sense of relief. I had been pushing the ball uphill for years. Building and growing my business. #1 Because I love it. #2 Because my success was wrapped in my self worth. YIKES! Huge AHA moment! Time to detox THAT thought!
I decided to sit back, relax and observe. Stop DOing and just enjoy BEing. I have a lot to be proud of. This helped me think over all my accomplishments in my last 25 years as an entrepreneur.
When someone asks me one of my favourite parts of my 25 years in business, I always go back to when I owned a store. Besides loving the buying, merchandising etc. I absolutely loved connecting and helping my customers discover ways to uplift their spirit.
This made me realize more than anything…I miss YOU! I miss serving, teaching, connecting, laughing and loving the people who want to live life colourfully.
So to celebrate 25 years in business June 4th, I’m working on learning how to put a membership program together to connect us all even more. I want you to be able to take my courses, be on zoom calls, have one on one sessions, be gifted with free product and most importantly, I want to provide you all with the best membership program as a massive Thank You for all the years of support.
Just know once I learn the ins and outs of this, you’ll be the first to know over the general public. I'm super excited. My heart is soaring! My spirit is saying YES!
So thank you quarantine for the blessings. Thank you for the time for learning, the creativity, connections continued and most of all, the time for ME to just BE and Believe.
Please stay healthy and well. Remember to use colour as your vitamins and minerals for the soul. Be aware of your thoughts and feelings. If we’ve ever needed to stay connected to raise each other up and detox those thoughts, the time is NOW!
You are Essential!
Stay tuned for the next phase of Heaven & Earth Inc. helping you to Live Life Colourfully!
