when i opened Skin & Tonic 7 years ago, i received a generous tip from a longtime client:
a blueberry bush.
this beautiful bush has provided berries since the beginning, but she’s also had some years that were a little less productive.
it feels so aligned with life as a business owner.
some years are fruitful and the fruit produces with ease, while others you have to adjust a bit.
have we outgrown the container we started out in?
have we added support in the many forms it comes?
have we pruned away the things that could be holding us back from our true expansion + growth?
many indigenous cultures believe blueberries to be a divine gift.
blueberries are associated with spiritual wisdom and seen as an act of communion with the divine. they provide insight, clarity, and a deeper connection to your inner self.
blueberries encompass emotional resilience + strength, while also helping to overcome challenges + adversity.
these dark hued beauties have been linked with spiritual growth + transformation, reminding us that personal growth takes time, patience, and perseverance.
it’s been 7 years of growth + expansion for both the blueberry bush and skin & tonic.
who could have guessed a blueberry bush would be such a thoughtful and perfectly paired gift for a new business 🫐😉🫐
