A much-needed update.
First, thank you for sticking with me through my absence here. I lost my beloved dog, Archie, almost a month ago and it has been the most devastating point in my life. He had extremely progressive lymphoma that was not treatable by the time doctors found it. Grief comes in waves β some days Iβm okay, others Iβm inconsolable. But I would like to thank anyone, again, who purchased a candle to help support my little guy in getting the help he needed and attempting to tackle the medical bills. He was the best part of me that will have a permanent place in my heart.
On a happier note, days before I graduated with my Masterβs Degree in Educational Administration, we found out that after three years of distance and over a year searching, my boyfriend Ryan was offered a job here in Ohio! We are so excited for this next chapter and to begin the next steps π
Moving forward with Ethereal Creations, Iβm planning on creating 10 signature scents that can be purchased year-round, in addition to 5+ scents for each season. My amazing boyfriend Ryan Minnigh is working on creating a website so you can finally buy online!! Iβm selling wholesale candles to Juny CafΓ©, and Iβm looking to branch out to other businesses as well in the future. Big things coming for EC!
Clearly, these last few months have been an absolute whirlwind. Lots of ups and downs in the most extreme way. I found it hard to celebrate my graduation and Ryan moving here because of the pain from losing Archie. However, this confirmed that life is cyclical; be present in each moment, give as much love as possible, and to reflect on the beautiful life I have lived and what is to come.
Thank you for reading. Sending all my love to you and yours π«ΆπΌ
