in a blink of an eye

boldher shop in the wild~

as i sit here, sipping on my piping hot coffee and reflecting on this date exactly one year ago, nostalgia floods right in; it always happens when i remember an exact date. it feels utterly impossible to sit here and realize how i’ve lived through the last year. i remember the raw emotions leading up to that day and truth be told, on february 28th, 2024, i was scared shitless. i boarded a plane that morning to georgia, stepping into the unknown, intending to get stronger one step at a time by embarking on the incredible appalachian trail.

i remember taking another leap of faith...

...and i went.

i shall extend the story over the next blog post.

life happens in the blink of an eye, but when we pause and reflect, like i am looking back on my journey, i realize so much more than if i hadn’t. in the past year, i realized it’s not just about the business; although i tried to live and breathe it solely, it’s about the person behind it and that’s me. i had to take the trip, throw myself into nature because it is the best place to heal, and come back with my heart and mind in tandem. that’s the essence of resilience, and it’s what i’m carrying with me into everything i do with boldher shop.
