Here we go. Almost a year after the birth of my son, I am profoundly a different person. I am still myself but a much different version. And although this website and page should be solely for my business and selling textiles, I find that my business also encompasses who I am since I am the lone ship behind it!
That is something I am truly proud of. Loads of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and gratitude have led me to running my own textile company for almost three years.
In the midst of this drive, my beautiful perfect angel baby son was born. I was one collection in and had just released my second right before his birth. Was this the smartest decision? Truthfully, probably not lol! But, I did not want to only have one collection released and stall for more months before releasing it.
In hindsight, I’m happy that I did a “soft launch” and am now slowly getting back into my work.
Speaking of getting back into work...I am constantly juggling what balance to strike, yet I am truly grateful to the Lord that I have the ability to be juggling in between both motherhood and business owner.
Many days I question what the hell I'm doing. Many days I feel like I'm not a good enough mother or business owner, or friend or wife, but I'm reframing things to understand what a privilege it is to be able to do this dance back and forth between more than one thing.
With my son's first birthday quickly approaching, I have found that I am constantly doing this dance. A fluid waltz-like chassé that pulls between my head and my heart. Or maybe it is more like the lindy "step ball step. step ball step. shift. change" sequence back from middle school cotillion??
Truthfully, I've had many weekends at home where I think, "f*ck it, I think I want to be a stay-at-home-mom. Then Mondays roll around and I think, "what the hell was I thinking? I want to grind in my business and have projects in all 50 states." Then Thursday rolls around, and I get giddy knowing I get to spend the extended weekend with my son.
I especially find myself in the midst of the dance when I spend some time scrolling on social media during nap time; I listen to an old "Skinny Confidential" podcast and am inspired to rewrite my business plan and start planning out my next business move, but then I stumble upon an influencer who says that motherhood is the biggest lesson of stewardship.
How am I supposed to choose? Do I have to choose? Will there come a point when I need to?
These are the many questions and silent prayers I have prayed. And although I may not know the answers now, I know He will provide me with these answers in His perfect timing.
