Birthday Wishes

Usually as a someone who was born so close to X-mas I don’t typically get to go all out in celebrating my birthday. But this year feels different. Maybe not an all out party but the energy feels full of excitement for the future.

While I had been self-employed for a couple years beginning in the summer of 2018 (until I technically became an employee at the yoga studio where I taught) it was not an overall joyous time. My mother’s health was declining, she left this world in early 2019, the pandemic hit then I had three major surgeries from 2020-2022. Recovering emotionally and physically took a long time. I’ve been fully self employed again since August and it finally feels like I get the chance to live how I’ve dreamed of for so long. I know the ups and downs of navigating self-employment will never completely smooth or plateau but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My time is my own, I have the freedom to explore all the new ideas, designs, projects and ventures I have in mind for 2024. Also I’m excited to share that I’m able to return to Tucson this year for the gem and mineral show, where I will be able to learn sandcasting!

The new year can sometimes be a scary time for those of us who are self-employed. January can be a slow month, sales tax is due, fees for any upcoming shows/markets/expos are due… and I feel I am moving forward into new directions. With that in mind I want to clear out space in my studio for new work. Over the week of 12/18-12/22 I will be posting jewelry, crystal and perhaps more in my Instagram stories at a deep discount. Even taking home just a little something will help me out in my new ventures. Shipping is definitely an option and local pick up will be available on Friday, December 22 at Déjà Vu Esoterica in Southtown San Antonio.

See you soon!
