hi :) I know that it’s been a long time since we chatted. Here’s what’s been going on: for all my big talk on mental health, I didn’t raise my hand when I needed help. Postpartum depression & anxiety hit me like a freight train. I stumbled through an identity crisis. I used motherhood as an excuse for everything. I hid behind my new responsibilities & I got really lost. ⁠
⁠
I needed some time to work it all out and reorient. & in that time, I packed up my San Francisco flower studio, picked up my family, & moved to a tiny cottage in Alameda (east bay). I white washed the back garage & put a three door flower fridge inside. I finished out the weddings I had booked before Henry was born & then... I was still. I stayed home. I did not take any calls. I did not do any marketing. I did not even look at this instagram account. ⁠
⁠
I watched Henry grow. & I grew, too: as a mother & a human.⁠ & that brings us to now: January, 2022. There are still ups & downs. But, overall, things are good. We’re in a groove. I’m feeling more like myself. & I’m ready.⁠
⁠
So, all that is to say: hi! I sure did miss you & I’m excited to see ya around.. real soon.⁠
