My other businesses never make me nervous.
I don’t really worry if people are gonna buy my desserts or book me to face paint. I KNOW those businesses.
But this??? 😭
This is different.
I pay rent for this space.
I invest in supplies.
I run the website.
I market it.
I plan the workshops.
And then I have to trust that people are actually going to show up.
And today was hard because nobody did.
Yes, I made my own kids come 😂 but I’m trying this new thing where I’m honest about the days that don’t feel good too.
Today didn’t feel good.
But I showed up.
And I’ll keep showing up because I’m trusting somebody MUCH bigger than this program.
God.
Honestly, He IS the program. 🙏🏾
I don’t know what HOPE Studio will look like 6 months from now, but I do know I can’t expect God to bless something I’m too scared to keep showing up for.
So… I’ll be there. 🥹💛
HOPE Studio is open:
🎨 Wednesdays & Thursdays | 4:30–6:30 PM
🖌️ Saturdays | 1–4 PM
Morning Saturday sessions available too!
No pity. No sad sales pitch. Just transparency.
I’m human just like everybody else. Some days are good. Some days are discouraging.
SHOW UP ANYWAY. 🖌️🙏🏾🎨
