Letter from Delana
As I'm sure you've realize by now, Reader, we are half way through the year. I know, we talked about this already 🤣 But what I want to say here is that if you're feeling discouraged because you're not where you thought you'd be this year, it's okay.
It doesn't mean that anything's wrong.
It doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.
Sometimes things just don't go the way we expected them to.
If I'm being totally, brutally honest with you, this year has been a struggle bus for me.
In January I moved half way across the country, away from friends, family. Just me and my dog, Oakley. I had done it before when I moved to Florida, so I can do it again, no problem!
I love it here. I miss Disney World. But Florida got hot, and crowded, and expensive. And I wanted the opportunity to live somewhere that functions like a big city but feels like a small town. That's exactly what it feels like here.
But, I'm not going to sugar coat it, my introverted self struggles going out and meeting people. So while I have ventured out and done some fun things, it's still just me and Oakley most of the time. plus most days you can't pay me to go outside when it's 100+ degrees.
So I've decided to use this time of hibernation, if you will, to reset. Resetting and revamping
what I want my business to look like
how I want to create and share content with you
the best ways I can support you with the behind the scenes of your business
All of this to say, if you're struggling this year, business or otherwise,
a) you're not alone
b) you'll get through it
c) its okay to take some time to figure out what's next
