Monday Inspiration - I've never met a strong person with an easy past.

I thought this would be a good time to post an update of sorts. I generally keep from posting a lot of personal things on here because this is my business account. But I have to give a HUGE shout out, hugs and thanks to each of you who responded to my post in January on taking a break. 💖 Your understanding and thoughtfulness means more than I'll ever be able to express. I'm finally back to work most days. I will continue to take things easy. Unfortunately, that means no custom orders or paint workshops for now. I'm planning on offering more paint workshops in the future.. For anyone that's new around here. I sorta lost my mind and am slowly getting it back. 🤦‍♀️ I don't know how else to say it. The healing is slow 🐢 but my mind is feeling more clear than it has been for years. 🙏

I want to take the time to tell anyone else who's battling or living with any type of mental illness, whether silently or openly... 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲.
