You are ENOUGH.
I'm going to be really honest with you all this morning. Being a LuLaRoe retailer is hard! No joke! There are a lot of ups and downs, as I'm sure there is with owning any type of business. Sometimes what really matters slips through your fingers. These past few days I've really taken sometime to re-charge myself. It was exactly what I needed to be a better consultant for you! So stick with me, read this, and really take it all in.
As some of you know, I'm also a photographer. Well I had a session this week that really touched my heart and made me re-think some things. I was doing a maternity session for a couple that I went to high school with. I won't go into all the details but they have had a difficult past with fertility. They are now expecting their 2nd miracle baby. I could just feel the happiness all around them. As lame as that sounds it's 100% truth. After their session the word thankful just kept popping up in my head. I started photography because I love getting to create memories for your family. I get to share in special moments. I get to make women feel beautiful! THAT is important to me! And in that moment I was thankful they chose me. It would impact me far beyond some simple images. Today it was more than that. I was reminded to be thankful for the past that has put me where I am now. And even more so thankful for what the future holds. Thankful for you! Do you see this? It's not a super posed photo but I couldn't pass up the way she looks at her daughter. That is love! That is something to be thankful for.
Like I said, it's hard running your own business AND then add trying to be a good parent on top of all that too. It can be a lot! So I sat down and asked myself why am I doing this? Why am I spending hours returning messages, making outfits, taking inventory photographs, etc. I mean HOURS y'all! Am I crazy?!? That is time I could be spending with my family. But then I had to remind myself it's all because of YOU. You are the reason I do all of this! If I can help make one person feel better about themselves then it's all worth it! We (women) live in a difficult world. We are always critiquing ourselves. We are never skinny enough, pretty enough, tall enough. I was that girl. I had a mentality that I was never and will never be good enough. And it sucked.
LuLaRoe completely changed that for me! It's funny how some silly clothes can really change your self confidence. But I am so so thankful to be a part of such an amazing company. One that empowers us and urges us to be better! Most importantly I am thankful for YOU. Without you, I would have no purpose in this business. It would just be another cookie cutter clothing store. I hope you experience more than that when you shop with me. So i'm just here to remind you, you are enough, just the way you are. Sometimes it's hard to remember that on our own. And I am thankful for you! Thank your for shopping with me and supporting my small business. Now go throw on some LuLaRoe, face yourself in the mirror, and defeat the day!
So what's the point of all this??? I want to give you the opportunity to feel beautiful again! I will be giving one winner a new LuLaRoe outfit and a fall mini photography session with their family to showcase it. In return, I'm asking is that you share my Be Sweet Boutique with LuLaRoe and Anna Manry page. Now I don't mean post a one liner that says Hey friends join this group. No no that won't cut it. And I won't count your entry if that's what you do haha! I need you to make your friends excited to join! My online group hasn't been doing well so I'm asking for your help. I really need this to be able to keep my business alive. This is my last resort and I hate having to do it this way but oh well, life happens. Once you've posted (make sure to include the group link), take a screenshot.
