Why Stillness?
How can we make meaningful change? My hope is that we can empower ourselves by helping others. We find joy and purpose by making a difference in any small way that we can. When I do well, I feel well.
I am starting small, with self-care, taking time to rest or heal so that I can be my best self for others. Candle-making for me is another step on my journey. It is a healing experience. I find joy and comfort in making something homemade and out of love.
The second part of Stillness is giving back. For every candle purchased, together, we will donate part of the proceeds to a shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence and trafficking.
As a new business owner, I am aware that our impact will be small and I was sure that I couldn't make a difference but a young girl reminded me of what matters most. In my office, I found a beautiful poster on my wall which read "A small business can turn into, a worldwide one!"
Her loving encouragement reminded me that even a small and loving gesture, can move mountains if we don't give up on our dreams.
So why Stillness? To give ourselves loving care when now, more than ever, we need respite. Then, to light the path forward for others one candle at a time.
Thank you for partnering with me in this adventure.
