I want to take a moment from my day to honor the shop because I hardly ever allow myself to absorb the goodness that people are sharing with me. I sometimes dwell on the negative things that people are saying and I think that is my reality when I am actually surrounded by so much beauty and love.
Two people came in the shop today (I've only been open about 2 hours so far) saying how much they love it! They both said how happy they were for me that the shop has been open 3 years now! One woman, Sandi even made me stop for a moment so I could have a proud moment. She said, "Girl this is badass! You are woman who has her own shop and you have been open 3 years. You should be very proud of yourself. You are living the dream." Sandi is a rep for a fashion brand distributed out of Macy's and she is a visual merchandiser. She loves the way the shop is merchandised, she said she can see the story I am trying to tell. Good grief Charlie Brown! I almost cried. We are our worse critic and my little critic can be pretty brutal and ruthless. So I am trying to live by this one drop rule, it's when someone says something nice to me about anything, my outfit, the work I do, the shop...and I have to at least allow one drop of it to enter my heart. I worry so much about the minor details that I don't see the big picture sometimes. I am proud of myself and all that I have learned and accomplished
