Hello, feels so good to be back. I spent much of last week stuck in bed with the flu. Were you one of the lucky few who read my whiny tweets?! ;) Thankfully, not all was lost, it gave me the chance to step back and redefine a few things for myself. So, I wrote out a business plan for both my shop and blog. Back in the spring of 2013 when I started "By The Shore," it was kind of on a whim and I didn't have any concrete plans for it. Which is totally fine, but now I find myself on the cusp of change and dreaming of new goals. But isn't that always the way?! We're always evolving, hopefully finding more clarity and getting in touch with our greater purpose!
I hope to share more with you soon... but today is shaping up to be a busy day and my poor brain is a little distracted. I've got a ton of shop business to take care of + package orders and then run some much needed errands. In the meantime, let's all remember to dream big, believe exponentially and shine our light as bright as we can!! Wishing you an inspired week ahead, guys! xo
Glad you are feeling better and getting back to it! My boyfriend has been sick the past few days so I am doing my best to stay away!!
ReplyDeleteThis shift is so adorable! Absolutely love it!

Yay! Glad you are on the mend! You are so organized! You should do a tutorial on how to write a business plan! haha I wouldnt even know where to start!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're feeling back to 100% this week, V! I'm so glad you were well enough for our catch up on Saturday, what a blast - my cheeks hurt the next day from laughing so hard :) And as for this outfit, it's simplicity at it's best. I love the modified gingham print of your dress and my love of that cardigan is never ending, so glad I can live vicariously through all the lovely ways you wear it since it will never be mine :)

Holy moly, you started your blog in Spring 2013? Tell me your secret! I started at the same time and keep feeling like I barely have any growth! Glad you were able to find a way to be productive while you were sick - it can be so frustrating being stuck in bed! Also, I absolutely love that shift dress!
