I have stayed silent for a long time.
I have chosen not to air my dirty laundry all over the Internet. I have remained calm and quiet throughout the absolute hell I have been living over the past couple months. More so tho over the past year. But I can't remain silent anymore as I continue to be bullied by people.
I will continue to choose the route that keeps the peace for my family. I'm not going to start begging people to see and hear my side of every single story out there. Only to say you are getting one side of a much more complex situation.
But 2 things need to be addressed.
I am not ripping anyone off. I have given back deposits to those who have asked but that will stop now. My contract has very clear terms and I have been more than willing to be reasonable but as I continue to be harassed, threatened and verbally abused by people I cannot and will not be moving forward. There are events and circumstances that have effected timelines, I admit that through all I have been dealing with the communication is lacking. My internal response when things get hard it to focus on the moment and what I need to get done and that has sometimes ment that I haven't been as responsive as is needed and I apologize for that. It is something that through that past couple weeks I have been trying to improve but I am also being bombarded in my inbox by things that aren't helpful and people who's only goal is to hurt and destroy me and that has made things harder.
Moving forward I am trying my best to not leave anyone without an answer for too long but please understand I am human, I now do this alone and I am trying my absolute best right now with all the cards handed to me.
Secondly I AM NOT CLOSED. I am not permanently closed in ANY CAPACITY.
I DO NOT have access to the platform that shows me permanently closed. Which has ment I have absolutely no way to change that listing. Someone marked my business as permanently closed as I'm guessing a way to try to hurt me more. And they have succeeded.
The brides who have chosen to go other places for there flowers was not beause I refused to help them. They decided to pull there services from me on there own decision. In some cases l know the struggle to get back to everyone was a part that may have pushed that decision but I am not here to screw people over. But this past year has caused me to start to hate the wedding industry. The way I have been treated over and over by people over the past 3 years has crushed all my love.
I will be completing all 2024 orders as planned and will reassess how I want to move forward as a business come the fall. Because I absolutely love the flowers, I love creating beautiful arrangements. But 1 person can only take so much until things just get too hard.
I will be turning off comments for this. I don't need more hateful comments when my mental health is already at rock bottom. I will continue to truck along and complete orders as quickly as I can.
I appreciate your patience and if any of my brides have follow up questions please message me privately and I am more than willing to answer whatever I can.
Thank you if you took the time to read.
