🌅Hi everyone, I just wanted to be forthright with you since so many of you have been with us for so long.
It’s been no secret that this year has been the most difficult year of my life and my children’s life that I have ever lived, I lost myself trying to fix someone else that didn’t want to be fixed, it consumed every second of every single day. I forgot who I was, and not just that I became such a bitter person. Addiction is a family disease it doesnt matter if you’ve never done drugs, or drank alcohol. It will effect and takeover your life, your kids life and you will lose sight of everything. I’ve never even smoked marijuana, I don’t drink and I’ve never done drugs or could ever understand how someone could throw away everything in their life and their families life for the next high. I have the personality where if I want to do something I will or give up something I can. I always thought I would be able to fix and help but by me doing this it opened the door for them person to take everything from my life, from every piece of work equipment close to 50,000, my kids dirt bikes, PlayStations, cell phones and too many other worldly things to name. It’s cost over 10,000 for my lawyer and legal fees. Our storage unit was also broke in and took anything of value and in the process broke every picture frame and what I had left of my kids things. I have my children and I am so thankful for that, that God removed what I would of never done. My family has a lot of things to be thankful for such as a future that I can control, but we have so much rebuilding to do. From work and all of things in it that I bought when I was working two jobs that took me 8 years to accumulate, to our life where we are starting over with nothing.
What I have learned it doesn’t matter how much you love someone, or hate someone they will change when and if they are ready too. For so many years I have went through the motions of being this or that and bargaining and pleading and screaming and fighting and crying and in the end my kids and I were the ones who suffered. I was the one who looked crazy and really I probably was. I feel like I had lost my mind. I never understood how someone’s family could enable them when they knew what they were doing and I became even more bitter and angry.
If you want to find out who you’re friends are then see if opportunity changes them, see if people viewing you in a negative light makes them turn their back on you. I sit sometimes and I cry at night because the people God had armored me with and because God knew that if he did not flip our entire world upside down and put my kids in the middle of it then there is no way I would of ever left and I would of been in the same cycle and so would my children.
One day I hope to see and tell my story through a different lens but I’m just not there yet but I am going in the right direction, I wanted for so long to expose tell, scream and let everyone know just how vile and what kind of monsters people really are but I have faith God will take that pain away one day too. One day I want to tell everyone what I’ve been through where maybe I can help someone else. Unless you’ve been where I am then it’s hard to relate to someone who has never been through it. People will judge you, talk behind your back, make up lies about you, use your hardship for opportunity and let me tell you if people have been around you and know you they don’t really believe it. They WANT to believe it because it serves a purpose for them.
I’m so thankful for the ones who showed up when I needed them the most and I’m thankful God opened my eyes to the ones that didn’t have a place in my life. I’m ready for new beginnings and a life that I can control. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I say this to be upfront with why the last 8 months of service have not been the best quality service and I know that, beyond the coming and going and the kids and things being taken and time being an issue I’m thankful for the ones of you that have stayed through out this process and to the ones of you who had to make a decision to go somewhere else I completely understand. If you would like to give us another chance in the next two weeks we are bringing someone on to help, manage and ensure that things stay on track, with me having 4 children it’s really hard to juggle them by myself and groom all the dogs, be on time, and deal
with all the tangibles. The goal is to have 3 groomers and a bather as we build back up. Candy has 15 years experience, and and she’s such a wonderful person. The plan is to finish all of our units and do what we had originally planned where we can give you the quality and experience you deserve. To those of you that have left us for various reason if you contact me I will do what I can to make it right and earn your business back, whether that’s free grooming, or we can discuss things you are unhappy with and make a plan to rectify it. Im willing to make adjustment and listen to any input from everyone, because the end goal is to make sure you are happy and your pups are happy and that you trust us, for most of you you’re more than just a client to me and it’s personal that we’ve disappointed great people along the way.
If you are compelled and would like to help or donate or even pre pay for your future grooms we would appreciate it, between having to start completely over and being able to have consistent quality service providers it’s going to be an uphill battle, and I will be doing it alone. I have faith that God will bring us through this storm, and the ones who can’t I understand if prayers are what you can give them send them our way.
