Mistakes, missiles and meaning.

It's ok to start over you know? To "admit defeat". In fact...Sometimes, it's necessary. Two years ago I made the decision to put my everything into the label. But the foundation wasn't there.

In fact I had completely lost touch with my core values. The label went so far from it's intended purpose. I learnt what people wanted, and that's what I gave. Spoiler alert, people pleasing is >NOT< a good business model. Sure it works "give the people what they want". But where's the integrity in that? Then came the missile that blew my whole world apart... The worst part, I'd launched it myself! It left no part of my life untouched...my family, friendships, marriage, business, my very "self" was left in ruins. For a huge part of the past 2 years I've been sifting through the wreckage, for a start I tried to put everything back where it had been. It was exhausting, confusing, depressing and it wasn't working! But then I started to see the meaning behind it all, there were massive blessings in the brokenness. So I stopped trying to restore the old. Instead, I essentially just put all the pieces in a pile and began a new foundation...and when I needed a specific piece, I'd sift through the wreckage until the right piece revealed itself. Sometimes I discovered pieces long forgotten, barely used, they were as good as new...they were extra awesome little treasures that seemed to be making their way into pivotal parts of my build. I'm still rebuilding. I'm taking my time...and this time it is the purest, realest version of me, my label, my heart and soul. And so I want to encourage YOU! If you have also made a wreck of your life. If you're currently sitting shell shocked in a pile of unrecognisable pieces...completely unsure of who you even are. You are in an AMAAAAAZING spot...you are blessed, you are SO damn privileged.

You get more then a second shot...you are one of the lucky few who gets a chance at really LIVING this life. So, take your time in rebuilding, don't be in a rush to put back the old pieces. Allow yourself the time and space to heal slowly. Take a deep breath, be still, and REALLY examine each tiny piece. Is it you? Or was it something you once added to keep peace, or please someone? You are on the road to unbecoming all you are not. And becoming all you're meant to be. The purest, freest version of YOU. If that isn't worth celebrating, I dunno what is! H x
