Intention is a very important part of what we do here. Sandalwood was born out of a long journey of constantly refining my perspective and re-aligning with expanding consciousness.
My goal here has always been to do good rather than sell more. My success is knowing I shared what I know, rather than making a big profit.
And what I know is how I managed to save my own life. Aligning and calibrating using the body's vibrational field is the core of that. "The Vibe".
It is the backbone of everything I offer.
Ive been really excited this week about bringing in some new lines. They arrived Monday and I instantly ripped into them. I started with staging and shelving a line of cosmetic products created by a woman who's persona is centric to my choice to carry them. I fawned over the first products out of the box, but as the box emptied I found I didnt get shelf testers. I know this makes my sales very hard and probably will result in shoppers opening products. I attempted to remedy this with some back and forth communication with the brand. Everyone tried.
But several hours later I found myself home in my comfy chair, crying uncontrollably over something dumb on tv. Yellow Flag.
I had to stop and ask myself what was really happening. And it didnt really take me very long to unearth the fact that I had a myriad of negative feelings about that communication, about things said to me, about the tone, about the whole persona, the ๐ฝ๐๐๐.
And in truth, I was wracked with regret
I had already posted across social media to promote the product and brand but, I deleted it all, re-boxed the product, and returned it.
And then, instead of taking a saunter into shame, doubt, blame, insecurity, and self-inflicted hurt,...
I sat in the good feeling of inherently knowing it was all right. In my bones I felt right, and I knew it was right for all of you too. Honestly though, it was hard.
And after all of that...
Today I opened the second box.
It is the most beautiful, perfect batch of intention.
And pulled this candle out first.
I will be keeping one for me.
