well, it's been a while...
So much has happened since my first (and last) post. Life has happened and its got in the way, in the way of my well being emotionally, physically and mentally. We had birthdays, we put our house up for sale, then we had snow, then we had more birthdays followed by more snow. We had a business, we had a struggling business, I had a job, I had a job i was struggling in. I had a husband, I had a husband who was struggling, I was a wife, i was a struggling wife. We had kids, they were struggling but we had so much going on ourselves we kind of missed their struggle. I took on another business, it was doing well, I failed it miserably because i was struggling so much. We took on another business to enable the shackles of the struggling business to be removed from our entire beings. We took a break away and I broke, my child broke and my husband had broken.
The moment hit us, we knew change was required. The bike shop had to go. My job had to go. My home business had gone. Bit by bit we are piecing back and regathering. I joined the local gym. This has been amazing for my mental state. We are working together at our new business, a flooring warehouse, on my days off I have stayed in the comfort of my home, licking wounds and piecing my life back together. working out what I want out of life. I don't see many people at the moment, I had cut myself off. Slowly I am trying to re-integrate myself into life and social circles, but I am going slowly, managing my anxiety as much as i can. one.step.at.a.time. Hopefully, people will have me back, but I won't blame them if they don't. I have decided I want to try and recover the home business I lost as I was actually good at it and I loved it. We are still trying to sell our house. My kids are good and coping well with the changes.
I was broken, I still am but I'm getting there.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved gifting - it's one of my love languages. I would always enjoy putting my pennies into the charity swirly whirl y machines and watch the money spiral round and round as it went into the deep black pit at the bottom. As I grew older, I would always want to buy my mum a little something if I went out to the shops, it was often flowers. When I was around thirteen or fourteen, a new gift shop on our local high street emerged and this was when I found my absolute love of gift shops. I adore a trinket or two and if we ever spot one, much to my husbands dismay, I just have to go in and have a little scoot around. When my eldest daughter was in nursery school a mum friend of mine, now one of my best friends, had opened an online gift store and home selling parties were organised, of course I held one at my home, as well as attending craft stalls. I had offered my time to be a helping hand as and when was needed, so one evening I went alon
