2023 and lil ol me

This is how the house horse and I partied in the new year.

I’ve always been a fan of a new year. I like fresh starts and starting over. Even as a kid, I liked the new school year. It puts magic in the air. Possibilities and all that shit. Haha. (I don’t like that there are no emojis on this thing.) I mess up a LOT in life so I like starting over. Moonie has only been around for a little over a year and a half and has already gone through multiple rebirths and transitions. It was messy from the jump and has really had to be fluid to survive. In the next couple of weeks you will be seeing more and more from Moonie on social media and changes to the website. I would be lying if I said that I haven’t been going through a lot since closing the physical shop. It’s been intense. I feel like all of the things that have happened in my personal life and family in the past 4 years have hit me all at once. This time has been so hard for me that even with the joy of opening Moonie and the distraction that it was from grief, I would not wish this much at once on anyone. (I’ll tell the whole story later but pretty much anyone that would actually read this already knows it.) All of this said to say, I am feeling the beginnings of a spark in my guts. I want to do all of the things with Moonie that I said I would. I am kind of starting from scratch. Almost. Like I said, things have been messy from the start so I’ve been cleaning up. Both literally and figuratively. My house has been nuts for over a year because I haven’t had time for it. Haha. I am able to focus more and not just panic and throw a bunch of shit together. I don’t know if any of this will do Moonie any good but I have hope. It’s still gonna be a bit messy. That’s just the way of my people. Haha. I really don’t know what will happen but I know it won’t be boring so we’ve got that going for us. I’m going to keep trying. Trying is so hard and annoying. Haha. The other option is much darker and I just want to be ok. So, this is an invitation to anyone in the universe to come along for the ride. Watch things unfold in real time. Just be cool. I’m trying to keep it positive over here. Haha.
