Thank you so much for the stamp shop reception today.

Planning those stamps and getting creative with photos and playing with "marketing" ideas has been so fun. It's something I didn't realize I missed and I've really enjoyed the process. It has been at least a year since I've launched an entirely new product. I think I needed this venture to be a win and so far, so good.

I will never tire of seeing an idea turn into a reality. I know for sure I'll always be a very small business because I love that lightening fast turn around (tiny concept to reality in nine days) is possible. (I am going to be talking more about this tomorrow.)

I'll be honest, April has been a strange & emotional month so far. I've been keeping my one little word, "choose" at the front of my mind every single day. And sometimes, I am pretty sure it's mocking me.

But I am working on it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and for your support.

Anticipating your questions … that wall calendar is Stendig, I had the "I CHOOSE" art printed at Office Depot, the black & white magnet board is by Paper Miniskirt, my kelly green pants are GAP and new favorites. 🙂

    The stamps are amazing. They will make my life better.
    You are adorable.
    Hang in there with the choose thing. I think the key is to remember that you’re always in choice. Always. BUT to also be able to recognize those things that are out of your control. Often, the only thing we really get to choose is how we show up in the world. That’s not always easy.
    You rock, and you’ve got this! I know it!

    It’s never fun to be struggling with your word for the year. I’m in the same situation with mine too. We just need push through and we’ll get there! I hope it all picks up for you though, and starts to come more naturally over time. Just think, if you overcome the struggle your having now, it makes it more satisfying and more of an achievement!

    Ah yes, the world is mocking you feeling. I’m very familiar with that. I’m glad I finally figured out how to laugh with it. I love reading about your choose mentality, I agree with Nichole, definitely inspiring.
