Heavy sigh….this virus sure is taking over, isn’t it? And I don’t really mean in matters that come to our health (while this obviously is an issue too), but what I am speaking to is our economy, sanity and lifestyle. It has all been feeling really heavy to me and I have been taking time to reflect and think about all of its impacts. And ultimately, what I have decided is I will do what I do best and that is to choose positivity. I am CHOOSING to think of the positives as we let this virus and precautions take its course.
Before I get too positive, what I first want to say though is, businesses are HURTING. Specifically small businesses and specifically those of us in the service (ahem luxury service) industry. Just like anyone else, we do have our families to feed, staff to pay and business overhead to consider. So if you can, remember those of us in your community that may need your support more so now than ever. A few of your favorite local businesses to consider during these uncertain times:
I’ve been thinking about “feel good” projects to do at home while we wait this all out; and also ways for my company to potentially stay busy and earn your business as we weather this storm. So here are my thoughts:
Christa gave me this idea a few years ago and it is BRILLIANT! Let’s get our photos off our phone and turn them into something beautiful. And not to mention a tangible item to cherish for many years to come. This is a triple win because we are: cleaning and organizing our phone images (oh does that feel SO good!), doing a creative and calming project, and we will smile and reminisce as we walk down memory lane.
A few tips:
When was the last time you updated the images in your home or office? There is no better time to tackle this project than now while you are stuck at home.
A few suggestions…
Wedding albums are undoubtedly something that gets pushed to the side in our busy lives. So let’s use this opportunity to work on yours now! I have a step-by-step guide to get us started (think choosing images {or I can for you!}, choosing your physical album finishes, and approving your interior custom album design). It is so easy, I promise!
You will be so happy to mark this item off your to-do list!
As I’ve mentioned, let’s make the most of this time and work on projects that make us feel good. Positivity is contagious and I hope to infect you with mine!
Please reach out to me for your photography and printed keepsake needs. I would be thrilled to help!
Stay healthy, Stay Safe, Stay Sane. Much love to you all!
