I received some not-so-great news, it’s taking time to process and sadly I had to disappoint people when cancelling our candle making and meditation workshop - I hit send on the mails and cried myself to sleep.Upon waking up I had an inbox filled with support, care, and understanding. Thank you to those who responded with such kindness - it truly means the world to me.Candle making kits have been heading out the door to those still excited to experience the therapeutic art of candle making despite us not doing it together as intended!Last night I made candles for fun, for no other reason than to heal and it felt wholesome.
