A personal thank you from SlipShod Ranch Soaps
I would like to extend my gratitude for your personal support while I work on perfecting an all-natural, yummy scented bar of soap. This project is larger than just soap, it is a commitment I have made to myself, a journey to seek new challenges, push personal boundaries, to open myself for unthought possibilities and to have a little fun in the pr
ocess.
Our Story - Slipshod Ranch was conceptualized during a long wait inside a hospital waiting room, it was one of those waits a person can't help wonder, worry or imagine how life is going to change based on the anticipated news to be delivered . With regrets and questions creeping into my mind, wondering how I could've done better, questioning myself as to why I have waited to do something or why I have talked myself out of so many things. I began to change my mindset and my motivations, I decided that I truly wanted to live a life of fulfillment with minimal regrets. I would decide to live as though tomorrow may not come (it is not promised), so what is holding me back from purchasing those good looking cows I have dreamt about and will never eat. Why don't I start making soap, it looks like a lot of fun, it can't be that hard..... and it wasn't. I chose not to be afraid any longer, mistakes will be made along this new journey - things will be hard and they have been but it has also been an extremely fun journey alongside my mother, the memories being created are priceless.
Hospital waiting rooms are about the scariest places to sit, to sit and ponder life, while memories, good and bad come crashing into your mind. I never want to revist that waiting room again, although I am extremely grateful for the reminder and life lesson it taught me that day. Making soap is not life changing but the process and decision to start making soap was most definitely life changing. For now I will make soap and enjoy my cows as some of the most expensive yard ornaments around. I hope people like you will continue to support this new creativity and joy it brings to my life. I am sincerely thankful for your support!
