The season of blooms and showers, time to celebrate growth and renewal.
With Spring being the season of new things and renewal I took the past few months to plan (winter is my planning and rest season) and take some time to meditate in my own way, looking inward, and taking time to rediscover the things I enjoy. One of those things is my first love, which is books. Funnily, my partner posed a question to me some time before I started to write this month’s edit of “What was the first book you remember reading?”. My mind slips back to a time when, as a child constantly being by myself, I spent the majority of my time lost between the pages of any reading material I could find.
The major reason for this was that my family was not the type to have “age-appropriate” books around. Most of our books were the ones we needed for school. My aunt, who was a pre-med major at the time, has around piles of textbooks that she used to study. My fondest memory of books was taking a particularly thick tome of AP chemistry at 8 and sitting under a cashew tree on a large rock, perfect for sitting outside and going through the pages, not understanding what was in there (well, until I became a science major myself). Still, the mere fact that I had a book made me happy and still does today, although my materials lean more toward the romance kind of things.
Starting (or restarting) this website in the spring feels right this time. Like there was a significant change in my life, and it felt like shedding off negative energy and living my life and starting my business the way I always wanted to; sustainably, authentically, and anchored in my beliefs with an agenda less connection and a sense of naturalness, femininity, and grace.
I spent most of March ( when this website was supposed to be launched but alas the issues with technology) building the website and all its components, researching, planning, and dealing with family throughout the month. There were quite a few low points for me from a mental health standpoint. Observations made me see that I am not the only one who felt that way. But for now I am pulling out the quicksand and now getting into the writing and content and all the fun things.
All my love E
