Please read š¤ Iāve decided not to renew my license with the health department when it expires on Aug. 31, so as of Sept. 1, The Kinship Board will officially close. All I can say is that after almost 4 years, all I feel is gratitude toward all of you for helping me take this little business to places I never expectedāto weddings and funerals, showers and parties, city-wide events and classrooms, to alumni reunions and family dinners. For mini boxes and grazing tables, markets and workshops, and comments and shares, thank you for all the countless ways you have supported me!
There are times to persevere and there are times to let go. With my full time job and 3 kiddos now in activities, and after a year of weighing this decision, Iāve decided itās my time to let go, in hopes of gaining more. Letting go of the time commitment in hopes of gaining more time with my family, letting go of the added busyness and stress in hopes of gaining better physical and mental health, and letting go of the financial support in exchange for gaining more real presence in the moment. I will truly miss the creativity and the challenge and the joy that comes from making food look pretty and making your wishes come to life. The Kinship Board has been so much more than I could have ever hoped, and Iām grateful to have to make the difficult decision to now choose less.
Iāll still be taking orders until Aug 31. If you have a gift card, please use it within the next two weeks. If you know someone who has a gift card, please let them know. Once my supplies run out of certain sizes, that size will be sold out. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Thank you so much for these past four years of kinship.
