A little life update from Floral Creations š¤
Iāve been quiet around here since May, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why.
Earlier this year, I made the decision to step back from Floral Creations and take a much-needed mental health break. I had become incredibly exhausted and overwhelmed after months of running on very little sleep while raising my little one, managing our home and acreage, and continuing to pour so much of myself into my business.
It took nearly 12 months before my baby finally started sleeping through the night, and by that point, I had simply reached a place where I needed to stop and breathe.
I kept the orders that had already been booked in advance, but I made the difficult decision not to take on new orders for a while. I also struggled to keep up with messages and communication. It wasnāt that I didnāt care ā I was simply completely depleted and didnāt have the energy to give my business the attention it deserved.
So, I stepped away.
I spent some time in Saskatchewan with my mom this spring, and gave myself permission to slow down, and focused on getting back to a place where I felt like myself again.
Looking back, Iām incredibly grateful that I took that time. Sometimes stepping away isnāt giving up itās recognizing when you need to take care of yourself before you can continue giving to everyone and everything around you.
And now, thereās another exciting chapter ahead.
We are in the process of selling our home in Edson and making our way back to Hinton. We truly thought we could make Edson work for us, but if Iām being honest, it has never quite felt like home. Hinton is where my husband was born and raised and weāre looking forward to returning to be closer to our friends and family.
For now, Iām continuing to take things slowly and intentionally. I donāt want to overwhelm myself or rush back into the business simply for the sake of being busy.
But once weāre back in Hinton, I have a feeling Floral Creations may take a new direction.
There are some ideas Iāve been dreaming about, and Iām excited to see where this next chapter takes me. Iām not quite ready to share all of it yet, but Iām hopeful there are some beautiful things ahead.
For now, we patiently wait for the right buyer who wants to make this gorgeous acreage their home.
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support, check in, follow along, and understand my absence. It means more than you know.
Hereās to slowing down, finding our footing again, and looking forward to what comes next.
