Behind the scenes, I've set reminders for myself to remember to post here at least once a week. Recently, I noticed we had a decent amount of subscribers that follow along here. (Hi!!!! And thank you!!!) So, I'm making it a point to try to post at least once a week. We post on our Instagram daily for little quick updates and peeks into what we're currently working on. But I know it is nice to read at a leisurely pace. Our work process is multistep and I am happy to talk about those in depth here. I know it is interesting, I even find it interesting and I'm the one doing it.

I got a little behind on posting. A little sad news came my way, someone who I treasured passed away. I needed a moment to reflect and also embrace a few people close to me. Those of you who know a little bit about me know that I founded a roller derby league over a decade ago and built a great little community from the ground up. I hold those who braved the wild of hitting the ground running and making things turn into reality in the beginning of that journey close to my heart. I'm just a fan of the sport these days but I still keep up with many from the early days and dabble with trying to keep up with the fresh faces that keep the league going now.

Whatever age you are, it is hard to hear of people you know passing or of loved ones scary illnesses. Those moments are reminders that life is fleeting and you need to tell the people you love that you love them. Prioritize your time to spend with them. At minimum reach out to them. I know it can be hard - I am the queen of the overflowing schedule personally. I'm exploring ways that might work for me to make sure I am doing just that.

Apologies for the bit of silence but it was needed. How's that for a mushy Monday? I appreciate you reading this and follow John and I along this journey. We do have some exciting things coming up and I have a bunch of content on our process and products that I want to share with you.
