An Update 🫶🏽
It’s been about 6 or so months since my last post. I launched a new collection for And Love Day on February 14 and then kind of disappeared. So here’s the truth:
The launch didn’t do great and I took it personally. I lost motivation to keep posting or making anything because it felt like wasted time. On top of that, I was getting busier with work, so naturally And Love took a backseat. I told myself I’d come back when I had more time, but then fell into another thought spiral of if it was even worth it…
So because of all of that, a couple weekends ago, I almost temporarily closed my website. I didn’t really have a plan, I had drafted an email and post to let everyone know why and what to expect.. But while I was typing out the email, I got an order (thanks Wendy ☺️)
Now one order doesn’t change the state of my business completely, but it did change something. I was shaken out of my shame, doubt, and sadness and reminded why And Love was created to begin with.
* It was created to create products with love, that feel like love, and that give love.
* It was created to uplift and inspire.
* It was created to give you tangible reminders that there is always access to peace, joy, hope, faith, and love.
It’s easy to feel discouraged and lost when you forget your why and your purpose. But And Love was created for just that: to remind you that with faith, hope, AND LOVE, there is always light. In the darkest of moments, you can still find hope, love, peace, joy, and love.
So if you need the reminder that you were created for something other than shame, doubt, fear, sadness, anxiety, or any other negative hold that tries to bring you down, this collection is for you.
Introducing And Love University!
With school starting for so many people, I was craving that crisp, fall, back-to-school feeling. So I combined the foundational values of And Love to create our own university. Instead of a place, And Love University is a mindset based on peace, joy, love, hope, and faith. Letting those values guide your day and your decisions. If you align with these values, you’re already enrolled 🤍
