And that’s a wrap. GOODBYE, DREAMS. I loved you and lost you but in the process learned. I learned I’m not alone, I learned I’m stronger than I thought and that community can hold you when it feels like you are in free fall. To everyone who cared, who reached out, who checked in, thank you. This was one of the hardest moments in life and just like that - it’s done. Opening dreams was a whirlwind experience - running on fumes is putting it lightly. Exhaustion, stress, health conditions and addiction- these past few years have been hard, lonely and filled with frustration.
I’m ready for the next chapter or maybe some stillness - my heart is still so broken but slowly I’ll pick up the pieces and keep on fighting. Fighting to keep my other business strong and the best they can be. I’m thankful to this community, my team and of course the friends and family who have helped us in these hard times. It’s lonely being the boss - it’s hard to be the one to make all the choices all of the time in sickness and in health there’s no stopping and when times are tight you are the one man band that does it all.
It’s hard, but I wouldn’t change anything - I love this life. I have made the best of friends because of this store, I’ve traveled to many places because of this store and it gave me the foundation to grow.
Thank you for believing in me since 2011….we’ll keep going in one way or another and hope you hang on here to see.
Thank you forever,
Monica
PS - I’ll finally get to emails this week everyone 💗fixtures are still available and thank you! 🥹
