It's What To Know Wednesday and I hate sharing what I'm about to share with you.
I've always told you guys that Wednesdays are about sharing what's happening in the world of Chienne Pawtisserie. Well, the world of Chienne Pawtisserie is basically fine but my own world isn't.
I truly hate sharing too much personal info on social media. It's just me. I'm also not a person who likes to put my emotions or vulnerabilities on display. I feel I need to share what's happening in my world, though, because it will impact Chienne Pawtisserie.
If you've been following us for a while, every so often I mention my mom (Janice). She lives in another state with my brother. I just went to visit her for her 89th birthday on June 19th. About 3 days after I returned home, she had a stroke. I put everything into motion to be able to travel to see her at the end of last week and over the weekend. I'm back home now but my heart isn't here. It's there. With her. And right now it's real hard for me to feel motivated to do anything else but worry and think. And cry.
Why would I share this very personal thing with you? Trust me, I didn't want to. I know, though, at some point this will impact my business. I would imagine that there will be times our turn around times for orders, both for our customers and our retailers, will be slower than normal. Or maybe I have to pull out of a show. Or maybe there's an emergency and I have to drop everything and leave. In other words, my mom has to be the priority.
I promise we'll continue to try to do our best for you. For our customers and retailers. I have a strong support system and an incredible assistant in Ashley. I'm simply asking for your patience and understanding now and, honestly, probably through the end of this year. I appreciate all of you for so many reasons. Thanks for being here and thanks for understanding.
