Opening a restaurant 👉🏽 Pandemic 👉🏽 Having a baby 👉🏽 Opening another restaurant 👉🏽 Baby is now a toddler (😅).
That was my past 3 years. And like everyone, I was just taking things one day at a time. Living purely in survival mode. I tried not to put too much on my plate (ha!), and while I dearly missed my work on here, I knew I had to step back and preserve what little energy I had to manage what needed my attention most in that moment.
But oh boy am I happy to be back! And while things aren’t even close to settling down, I recently started feeling a profound emptiness that was hard to ignore. Like a deep void. So after much reflection, meditation, and looking within (this is after many months of personal struggle mind you), I knew the void I’d been experiencing was my spirit’s way of telling me it was time to get back to what it is that truly fills my cup : reading, writing, learning, and sharing my passion for wellness with others.
When things get hectic, we find it hard to justify making time for something that doesn’t seem ‘essential’. And yes, sometimes we need to redirect our attention to address an immediate need, but it should only ever be temporary. I realized I went way too long not devoting time and space for myself, and my spirit was letting me know me through the emotions I was feeling – I just wasn’t paying attention. How truly amazing it is that we have a guidance system like that?
It doesn’t mean things won’t get crazy again and I might need to step away. I will always give myself permission to do that. It just means if I do, it won’t be for long. I know I can pick up right where I left off and it will be like I didn’t skip a beat. That’s the blessing of having a passion. It’s always there for you.
So we’re back. With a new name and renewed inspiration. And we’re sending you so much love xo
