Somewhere in the last couple of years, I forgot.Not in a dramatic way. More like a quiet drifting. I stopped reaching for the tools that once helped me feel grounded and supported.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I truly want for my shop. More than anything, I want to build something special — a space where magic, healing, and creativity can meet, and where you all feel seen, supported, and inspired.

One day, I dream of having a brick-and-mortar store — a cozy little sanctuary filled with everything my heart wants to offer. But for now, I’m building slowly, step by step, doing what I am able in this season.

There’s so much I want to create and share with you, and I know in my soul that this is my purpose: to have a shop that can help all of you, and hopefully even more people as I grow.

Thank you for being here, for supporting this journey, and for helping me turn this dream into reality — one small, magical step at a time. 🌿✨
