I promise to each of you & to myself - I'll be brave enough one day soon - to share in full detail the immense amount of work it takes to run a scaling small business. And I double promise to add the shenanigans as a 🍒 on top.
For now, with the biggest lump in my throat, I say farewell to our brick + mortar. The amount of love poured into this space oozes to the threshold and beyond. It is truly something special.
Rising costs and operational challenges to meet demand were too much for one operator to take on. Embracing this truth hit me like a pound of bricks. Allowing myself to release the projection of what I felt Speakeasy Candle "could be" and embrace the cold truth of how something I created to spread light and joy was stealing mine.
What a price to pay?! Losing myself in yet another whirlwind. First peoples expectations of me, then wife life, then mom life. Each era I learned, I grew, and more importantly I planted seeds that I KNOW will enrich those around me.
Whatta ride this was 🕯️THANK YOU LAS VEGAS + BEYOND FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
