Here’s another unsolicited selfie and self-reflection post nobody asked for but I’m going to post anyways.

I burnt out this week. Probably the most stressed I’ve been in a year (why did no one prepare me for when the shock wears off 😳 )

I went rogue for a few days. I couldn’t function let alone create content or be online. And it happened a week before this event, when being consistent is crucial. But I was totally out of commission. I didn’t have the capacity to rally community when I myself didn’t even feel like showing up.

But, after finding the space to express my stress. And with a supportive team (who does trivia night and karaoke with you) the vision kept moving forward …

Et voila, here we are!!

Only a few hours away from the party, I’m sitting here reminding myself things always work out exactly as planned. Even when the process FKN sucks!!!!!!!

I got myself new glasses so I don’t have to squint anymore. I treated myself to some eye masks and a new lipstick and I’m listening to a remix by my brother while getting ready.

I’m going to be ok. My life will soften.
I can do hard things. I can rest when I need to. I will trust the process. And most importantly, I will dance like a maniac even if I’m the only one on the dance floor 😝

See you tonight at the Market

Thank you .artbar x .gallery for being a part of this with me 🩷

I was told on Friday it was the new moon in Aries and apparently that meant some big energy shifts were afoot 🔥 so I’ll go ahead and blame the planets for messing with my emotions all weekend, instead of always blaming grief!!

But I’m happy I got to spend that day visiting 3 of the stops on our bus tour, hanging with some sweet people and getting a little thrifting in for myself 🩷

Slides 1-5: an afternoon spent at the beautiful .treasures 🩷I scored another great pair of jeans and some cute tees. And with an abundance of gorgeous accessories, statement pieces, and even home decor you could easily spend a day there!!

Slides 6-9 finally made it to to check out .pink.jaguars booth and it was SO GOOD! This is THEE place to go for your fave band tees, some classic records and sweet vintage housewares! I grabbed a bday gift for someone (I can’t post yet ‘cause I don’t want that someone to see 👀) and still regretting not getting the Aaliyah tee…

Slides 10-13 I’ve now shopped racks at both and and I LOVE that there is always such unique pieces, including these upcycled denim jackets and the floral embroidered denim dress! I’m also regretting not getting the red satin dress (I think I need to go back this week)

Remember friends, keep supporting your local small businesses and showing them some love both in person and online ✨🩷 it goes a long way!!

Work/Life update: My mental health is bad right now. My brain’s been out of service.

Oh and hello to all the people who just started following me. Welcome and thanks for being here! (I promise a much more enthusiastic greeting at some point)

Building a business and brand, especially one that relies heavily on communication and in-real-life contact, takes a lot of energy.

Picking Craig’s gravestone this week knocked the wind out of me. I sob at the faintest hint of a memory. And that does not bode well in the middle of a meeting. So I’ve perfected holding in tears ‘til I’m home. It takes a lot of energy to control this.

One minute I’ll be designing posters the next I’m hugging my kids as they work through their grief. It takes a lot of energy to balance both worlds.

I have two big events coming up. Both mean a lot to me and I’m committed to making them the magical experiences I envision. These projects bring me joy and remind me of my purpose. It takes energy to create this.

My energy reserves have been depleted, and I needed to stop pressuring my self to keep going.

Why am I sharing this? Not sure. My grief brain has me oversharing even more than my ADHD brain.

I didn’t plan to post all this. It just kinda blurted out. So there’s no real “moral to the story”.

Or maybe it’s not for anyone else, and this is just for me to express. Maybe it’s just that we need to recognize each other’s humanness a little more. Maybe it’s a reminder we need to be softer with each other. And with ourselves. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just know grief got me all up in my feels on this rainy Sunday.

I’ll be back tomorrow with all the upcoming excitement. For now, I shall continue to recharge my energy (aka cry, eat snacks and hang with my boys when they finally wake up).

Ps. Sorry Craig, I killed some your plants. Remembering to water them takes a lot of energy.

📢 SPONSOR SHOUT OUT 📢

Big THANK YOU to these amazing Durham businesses for supporting Oak Roots’ very first Thrift | Party Bus Tour!

We were able to offer lower seating prices and even throw in some extra party perks all because of YOU 🩷

I have worked with and/or been a customer at all of these businesses and can personally attest to their quality and service. 10/10 recommend.

I’m so excited to share more about them in the upcoming weeks!

Let’s show them some love, and follow their pages (maybe even book a service, buy a product, and grab a drink)

If you know me, have worked with me or ever been to one of my events, there’s a 99.9% chance you’ve met my mom!!

She is the woman behind (and in front of) every set up, take down and crazy idea I have. She has encouraged me since I was a kid to pursue any passion I have.

When I was 10 and wanted to be squeegee person she said I’d be the best squeegee person ever, and offered to buy me one (but I quickly moved on to my next plan).

Everything I’ve learned about being a good mom, business owner, and caregiver I’ve learned from her. How lucky am I to be a student in the Jean Robles Masterclass of being a good human.

I’ve learned the true meaning and value of integrity through her. I’ve watched her run a business for 30 years and learned the importance of people over profit. And that the relationships you build and foster ARE the marker of success.

Having a good mother is a privilege that I am grateful to be blessed with. I don’t take it for granted. I am who I am because I was raised by a good mother.

Craig used to say to me “seriously Jeanelle, your mom is an angel and has the patience of a saint” ain’t that the truth!!

It’s like God works through her the way she can single-handedly run a business, organize a house, babysit all the grandkids, and still always have time to go for coffee or lunch date at the drop of a dime.

She’s balances wisdom with immaturity as if it was her life’s purpose and it makes life with her that much more fun!!

This is her last year in her 60s. So we got a year to plan a big bash for everyone’s favourite, mystical and magical mama Jean!!

Happy birthday Joyful Soul

Xoxo

Ps Facebook won’t let me add the original song that was on this reel. So picture the video to “Isn’t she lovely” Stevie Wonder. Works much better ;)
