Growing Pains and Challenges

I sit here lost in my sea of things to do. I have bath bombs to make, shower cubes and soaps to label, pictures to take for social media, yet every time I come to my computer to print a label, I’m reminded of the domain name I need to renew, the orders I need to fill, the questions to answer, the supply orders I need to make. The list goes on. And on. And on.

The problem lies in maintaining joy. I got into this because I love to create. I feel a passion for creating quality products and making them available and appealing to everyone. Crossing people over from the SLS/paraben world to the world of natural, simple body care and all of its benefits. Now I seem to be buried in government labeling codes, bar codes, licensing and lot numbers….not my forte. I’m proud of how I’m figuring it out and getting it done, but man, I just want to dig into the new order of botanicals that arrived on my door yesterday.

So, what do I do? Write about it apparently. Think about the bigger picture and how this is a metaphor for life and how nothing comes easily. Think about where I started and how my products have grown and got better because of these things. About how as I grow, more people will wonder what the big deal is with this Sunshine Soap and give it a try, and hopefully cross one more thing off their list in getting rid of toxins in their homes.

Alright. That did it. I am motivated once again. Off I go, one latin term at a time.
