Today is , which is one of my favorite days of the holiday season. This year is different though so I thought I’d pop in and update you all on why I haven’t been around lately. At the end of August I was diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, stage 2). The diagnosis and treatments have been hard on my mind and body, so I made the choice to take a break from Plant Mama until I was feeling better. And quite honestly it’s been hard. I love being a small business owner, it is part of my identity and it’s been really difficult to take a break from it especially during the holiday season when it’s crazy and chaotic, because I love that part too. But it’s a good reminder that I am so lucky to be able to do what I do and that sometimes you just need to rest and come back refreshed and motivated. So I hope you are all out there supporting your favorite small businesses because it is so special for the owners and makers behind the scenes 🖤
