Hey y'all! We spent the weekend at the beach for a much needed time of relaxation and fun. The beach is literally my happy place. I can just sit there for hours and just breathe. It's where I destress, refocus, and daydream. I just love the beach!
So a few weeks ago, I got a really rude comment on a blog post and I'm not going to lie, it hurt my feelings. It made me feel like I wasn't good enough to be doing this whole blogging thing. Words hurt, no matter the source or the motive behind them. I was stewing over those hurtful words, feeling like giving this all up when I went to check my e-mail and I had one from the company The Home T's sister brand, Doc Shorty sitting in my inbox. They were inquiring to see if I would share this Don't Quit Your Daydream t-shirt on my blog. I don't really believe in coincidences but I absolutely do believe in God and this was a God thing for sure. Just when I felt like quitting, He sent this reminder.
This blog is my daydream. Four years ago if you told me I would be working with some of my favorite brands and the cutest boutiques, I wouldn't believe you. I would have never dreamed of actually getting paid a little money for sharing what I love and getting to write at the same time. My dream is never to be a big fashion blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers. I honestly don't have the time right now to even try to do that because I am a mom and a teacher. I have a career that I absolutely love and I would never give it up. But my dream is to inspire others by sharing my style and encouraging women to wear what makes them feel good.
Don't quit your daydream... haters gonna hate but just shake it off and focus on your dreams.
P.S. 10% of the profits from this t-shirt will be donated to multiple sclerosis research!
Love this and you, Emily! Don't even listen to the haters! As long as you love what you're doing then that's all that matters anyway!
