Back In Business

It's been a while.  How have you been?  I've been busy and I am ready for school to start.  I like routine, I like routine when you can fall on it or abandon it for a while. I, like many of you, have dreams.  Not huge dreams but tangible dreams. I like to think of myself as creative and sometimes it's hard in the day to day grind to find ways to be creative.   Oh I make a few things here and there but sometimes I like to make things that matter.  A couple of years ago I started a business with making jewelry.  I had no knowledge of how to do it only that I wanted to do it.  It's funny how that little bit can prompt you to move.  Maybe I'm just a little reckless and I don't always think things through. ... hmmm...
I created a company called LayaBelle (my two sweet daughters combined) and started venturing out in to the big wide world of retail. It's not for the faint of heart but from the little front room of my house surrounded by the sound of my kids and the t.v. and the dog I started creating.  I used a lot of the old pictures of my Nana and my mom when she was a little girl. All was good in my world.
 My Nana passed away and I just felt the wind leave my sails.  It's funny looking back I thought I handled her passing with as much grace as God would allow me.  I guess subconsciously I didn't. My "want to" was just gone.  I tried but the happiness in making others happy was just absent for a while and I think that's okay.  I truly believe if you don't ever give yourself time to heal you'll never really heal.
This brings me to today.  Today I am going to bring some of those photos out and I'm going to create again.  I'm going to make others happy which in turn will make me happy.  I'm going to help others take those beloved photos out of the musty old picture albums and wear them with pride and beauty. What is your favorite photo of a loved one?  Was your great grandmother just gorgeous and courageous?  I can create a way for you to share them with other people.
