The nice thing about this monumental decision is that I am free to allow my "Give A Shit" to run amok. And believe me, the GAS is having a blast!
Now, onto the redesigned blog! I needed something fresh, something new. I've been selling some of my witchy wares under the Enchanted Moon Alchemy™ name, and wanted to incorporate that into this fresh new blog. But for some reason, since it's a blog, the word "alchemy" just wasn't fitting. So I sat and thought a while. Then the word "chronicles" popped into my head and I said BINGO!!
But then, being the Gemini that I am, I asked myself WHY the word "Chronicles" was so hauntingly familiar. Took me a while. Then it hit me. The Grimoire Chronicles series by Sally Dubats (my new FAV author!) You can find the first book in the series on Amazon. Please do check it out!
In mundane news, I finally got the ScentWerx site up and running. It's done fairly well for being so new. We've got tons of Dave's beautiful candles listed, I added some Smelly Jellies, and recently added Shower Gels, and a luxurious Body Mist. In the coming weeks I'll have the silky smooth body lotions, and some OHMYGODDESS sugar scrubs.
I've committed myself (if you stopped here and didn't read any further, please do not pass Go, do not collect $200, just head directly to the asylum) to writing a book this year. After the store officially closes. There's a story that is absolutely begging to be told. And I've promised myself that names probably won't be changed to protect the not-so-innocent. ::evil grin::
One other project I'm taking on this year, and that is learning how to make my own herbal products. Tinctures, salves, brews, and the like. So if you thought that closing the physical store meant I'd just be a lazy housewife, think again LOL!
That's all for now.
Although this may be an unexpected or even a bit scary time for you perhaps this shift in your life will turn out to be a positive change to give you time to write the book or whatever else you may need to do. Wishing you the best either way!
ReplyDeleteThank you Winter! I fully believe this is a change cor the better!
DeleteDo you know how to spell my name? ;)
ReplyDeleteI sure do LOL!!
DeleteMany people, when closing down a store, slow down a bit. Sounds like you're just revving your motors before getting started! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's nuts, isn't it? I may end up taking a nice little sabbatical when this is all over and THEN get started on my new projects.
DeleteWell, as long as the online store remains open... I'm with PetoskyStone, I bet this is a step towards renewal. Now you can dedicate yourself to your online business (while sitting at home in your undies) and boom! *that's the profit explosion, by the way*
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear heart! It's definitely a renewal, and I'm excited about all the things I can do with the online stores. :-)
DeleteI'm with you 100%, my beloved BFF. I know what you've been through, and I know that you'll do what's right for you and Dave. You are an amazing, intelligent, wonderful person. If you're happy, that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteYou are the most amazing BFF a girl could ever have. Your support of us means the world to me. {{{hugs!!}} I'm getting happier by the day, knowing that as each day passes I'm closer to getting to where I want to be!
