š£Hello, beauties! Time flies! I canāt remember the last time I sat down to make a meaningful post for my Styled Cactus page. That is really painful to admit but also my reality. Life has been amazing! Truly. In the last two years, God has answered prayers. šš»We () are living so many of our prayers, both individually and together. For me, life looks drastically different. Iāve had critics. Iāve struggled with change. Iāve grown. Relationships change. All the things. But, Iām fully embracing it and accepting everyone experiences life differently.
This month I made a REALLY hard decision. I decided to shutdown my website. The real and raw reason is: no sales but increasing cost. I kept paying fees and renewals thinking someday I would start again. Then the reality hit me. A clothing boutique is no longer Godās plan for me. It was clear but painful. All of the time and effort in creating a brand, building a websiteāall my hard work. In the click of a few buttonsā¦.GONE. I wonāt lie. It took me a couple of days to stop crying throughout the day. It was sad but I knew it was right. I had every intention to make a post sharing the news but my days got away from me. Then it happened.
Today I was tired. I planned to go ride in the afternoon and I was feeling unmotivated. I made myself go. I like to watch myself and my horse during workouts (because thatās how you become better) so I set up my tripod to film. I rode for 40 minutes and my horse worked great. The weather was beautiful and it was quiet. When I stepped off my horse, I walked over to get my phone and tripod. My horse put his nose to the tripod; at the same time I was looking around and thanking God for this moment and how far Iāve come. Thatās when I understood. I chuckled because it took a TRIPOD for me to see the message. This is the tripod I used to take all the SC pictures! Now itās used to help me reach another goal. The saddness of one thing ending brings the opportunity of another. Amazing how that works?! So simple, really, but impactful to me.
This page isnāt going away! It has a purpose, Iām just not sure what it isā¦ YET! š
Stay Tuned.
