This is a more personal post than we ever do on our feed. But I thought it was appropriate for the times we are living in. It’s also a little longer than usual...
Almost 10 years ago I decided to get a divorce after a 20 year marriage, a decision not arrived at lightly or without a lot of pain to my family. I came across this sign at a Hallmark store while I was on a weekend trip, trying to restore some balance to my life. I’ve held onto it ever since. It speaks to my lack of patience and my incessant need to be efficient at all times. Throw in some considerable levels of OCD in there as well. I have two speeds... 120 miles an hour and absolutely still. The latter is very rare for me. Which brings me to today. We have been given no choice but to slow down. We have been so busy these past months with orders and clients and design that I have failed to post and share. It simply fell by the wayside and I got lazy after long and arduous days making sure each and every detail of our process was perfect. Do we perform neurosurgery? Do we provide a necessary service in this world? That’s a resounding NOPE. Do we spend our days dealing with beauty, art, textures, color and designing beautiful things? ABSOLUTELY. In our little corner of the world, where we lovingly and enthusiastically interact with our loyal clientele, we love what we do and how we help to beautify the world, even in a minuscule way. In the next few weeks we will posting what we have been doing these past few months, just to share and continue to enjoy what we do and hopefully will add a ray of sunshine to your day. When we come out of this period, hopefully we will have learned patience, empathy and gratitude. Patience is at the top of my list ! But I still like my sign... This too shall pass... now would be good. Stay safe and healthy.
