CHANGES FOR THEOLDSILVEROAK

With the new year coming up and some huge blows to my life, I felt I needed to changes things. For the better of course but, I find myself going in a slightly different direction. I feel I need to follow my goals for different reasons. I want to help people in some form or fashion. In order to do this, I need to come from a place of love. Love for self before love for anything or anyone else.

Wellness is becoming a huge part of my healing and growth and I want to share that with you. Spiritual wellness from a feminine view point and healthy eating will be added to simple living and crafting on this blog.

I think with the way this world is going politically and environmentally, changes need to be made yesterday! My drive for a long time was 99% financial and that isn’t my drive anymore. I see financial abundance as a bonus from my focus of wanting to be of service. I hope my reach goes beyond the internet as time progresses.

See you in 2018.  

What's going on with TOSO

So I took a longer than planned hiatus. I wasn't even sure if I'd ever come back. That's what happens when you are stressed and depressed. You begin to give up on everything. I am not going to make this a long post, I will save those for later. :D

Here is a quick overview of the plans for TOSO:

• The Shop: I will be back to creating items, except I want it to have a nature, inspirational, motivational theme to it. I will also start posting items that I have found. So a little of this and a little of that.

• Self-Love Saturday: I am beginning a self-love journey and I want to take you with me. I want to share with you all the ups and downs, all the things that are working for me and those that didn't work. All in hopes that those of you in need of a self-love journey will be inspired. I want you to know you aren't alone.

• Weekend Round Up: Just as it sounds. A simple summary of the week.

All of this will begin next week. I hope I can be a source of help, humor, and comfortable silliness. :D

Stress & Crafting

I am really trying my best to meet my personal store re-launch deadline. Home responsibilities, and the people next door are making this process difficult. I find things that are normal easy to be seem to be horribly difficult. Constant headaches. Off and on crying. I do not want to let stress steer me off course but, I just do not know if I can accomplish what I want. It is frustrating beyond belief.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you handle it/fix it?
