basically, I was an education major with an art minor. And I taught second grade. So then when I stayed home with my kids, when I was a stay at home, mom, I'm thinking, Okay, I want to stay home with them. And then when they go back to school, I'm going to need to go back to teaching. I ended up I was in the beginning of you know, trying out the blogging world when that was brand new. So fast forward. A few years into this, I got super, super sick. And long story short, I was ended up being diagnosed with Lyme disease. So I'm like, trying to figure out how to get better to the point that I'm in a wheelchair and I'm taking 80 pills a day and I'm having seizures and tremors and I feel like I'm dying and nobody's helping me. And everybody's telling me that the last doctor you went to was a total idiot. And I know everything. And so it was just like, I'd never been so mentally beat down. As I was, in that time, every step I took to try to get back to my little happy, stay at home mom life, it was like I can't, I'm like, I cannot move forward, I can't figure it out. And so basically, the reason I bring this up is because I found myself in a position where I'd never been before, where I'm over here going, I'm not a happy go lucky person. Right now, I'm not being optimistic. I've just everybody thinks they've got the answer, including family members, and all friends and all these people who want to help and I just invite everyone to shut up, go away, you don't understand this. And to the point where it was like, I don't have a medicine or a doctor or a person that can fix this. And what if I'm like this forever. And so I just got this really dark place. And so I grew up in the church, I'm a Christian. And I had, you know, had faith my whole life, but I've never really had anything really hard happen. And so when this happened, the mental part of it was making me question my faith and question all this, like, is this just like, I've got a, you know, what do I do here? And so I realized, I just hit rock bottom, physically and mentally, and I had to make the choice. No, I'm going to just, I'm going to start a gratitude journal, I'm gonna start reading books, I'm going to start do anything I can learn about how to get out of this funk. And so a lot of what I was reading was, like, just people who dealt with hardship Christian, non Christian. And so I feel like I'd put my life and my dreams and my goals and all these things aside, and I was so like, wrapped up in what other people thought, like, I couldn't do art, because I wasn't good enough. And I couldn't go to work anymore, because I wasn't healthy enough. And I couldn't be a mom, because I had to get a nanny, like, every part of my identity was like, this was not the plan at all. And so in hitting rock bottom, I learned well, a lot of what my identity is what I believe about in my faith, so I had to figure that out. And that was deeply, deeply personal to my journey. And so I started seeing light at the end of the tunnel, even if my circumstances hadn't changed. And so I went back, like, what do I want to do, if I don't, my husband's like, Don't worry about a job, you don't need a job, you just need to get better. And so it was like, when I took the expectation of everybody out of it, and I just did what I wanted to do. I decided I'm gonna start blogging, I'm gonna talk about what I'm going through and try to encourage people, I love encouraging people. And then when I was like, I'm reading my Bible, and I'm learning things I'd never learned before. And I'm sharing those, and then would be like, I love art, this is what I do. This is what I'm working on. This is just like my blog just became an outlet of, and I didn't know what it was, I didn't give it a name. It's like, it was a me senator.com. Because I was like, I don't know what this is. I'm not planning on making money with it. But let's just try it. Basically, my business was, was birthed out of hardship. I built this business from my bed. And I am so thankful that that's not where I am now. But that's what it was birthed out of. And so what I kinda want to transition into is, so how did I figure out that it was a business? And how did I figure out my niche? Because as I was exploring all that, it was like, Hey, let's talk about motherhood. Let's talk about Christianity. Let's talk about art class. Let's talk about this is what I'm decorating for Valentine's Day. Like all is there, everything all of it? Yeah, I just made this recipe. And so I at the time, I didn't even know you could make money blogging. So the more I looked into, like, how do I make this blog cool, I'm looking at a wait, that person made some money like what what is that? How do you do that? And so it turned into me just having this passion and joy for life that I didn't have. I felt like I had a purpose. And so it was basically birthed out of a hobby. That was because I needed you know, self care. I needed mental health help.
