While I am never really vulnerable on my page, I feel I should give some insight on why things are slowing down over here.
The month of April was extremely emotionally taxing. Watching someone I love more than myself be admitted into the hospital when we should of been celebrating Easter...not knowing what the outcome could of been, was extremely traumatizing. This entire situation has put a lot on my shoulders on top of taking care of my children, college and working. My life is extremely busy, yet full of burdening chaos that is catching up to me mentally. Usually I can balance everything and tell myself " I am fine " but, I'm not. I'm tired.
I have developed severe anxiety that is hard to manage right now and experienced a panic attack that made me not feel that great. While trying to manage my anxiety, I was on the verge of developing Serotonin Syndrome but, with some random luck, it was stopped in time. If you do not know what this is, it is dangerous. While I am OK, my husband is doing so much better, I am mentally drained more than words can express. I feel this entire situation is an extremely big wake up call to take 10 steps back and breathe. I need to learn to slow down and rushing through life, trying to be busy all the time won't cure anything. It doesn't take away the mental load, it just piles on.
With that being said. I am closing my bookings. I don't know if I will return or not but, I just cannot keep up right now. My heart is hurting to even say this after capturing so many beautiful memories, meeting so many wonderful people who became family since 2013/2014. I just need to prioritize me, my children, my family. My daughter needs so much care and focus, I need to heal. I need more time.
***Those of you that are booked will stay booked. Those of you with gift cards, won sessions are still valid. Everyone is still secured unless stated otherwise. I still want to capture all your love because, I LOVE my clients. You all are family to me. I just need to remind everyone to give me grace, the way I have given you all my grace, time and love.
Thank you so much.
With love, always and forever
