NEW YEAR, NEW ME, NEW ADVENTURES FOR DAISY PEACH BOUTIQUE

As we are near the end of the first month of 2023, I thought it would be a great time to reflect on 2022 and share my resolutions for this coming year.  

2022 – Reflections of a Great Year 

All in all, 2022 was a pretty good year for me and my family. Our journey was a rollercoaster ride for sure, but what life with cancer is not. But, I do know this... I have so much to be thankful for. As I move forward in this new year, I am going to be more grateful for our wins, no matter how small they might seem. I learned that in 2022, I would put more emphasis on worries and anxiety....things I could not control...instead of focusing on the positives and the reasons I am blessed. In 2023, that is changing. It already has. All it took was a visit from my mother-in-law, a lot of sweet conversations and BOOM...a new outlook on life. That woman is SO GOOD for my soul. 

Also in June 2022, we launched Daisy Peach Boutique. Yall have NO IDEA how much fun I have had getting to know you and sharing my love of the south with you! We launched with five Tennessee Boxes. As the year progressed, we launched three additional Tennessee boxes and moved into a second state with the debut of five South Carolina gift boxes. We also introduced an Amazon Affiliate Store boasting an amazing selection of gifts from Tennessee and South Carolina artisans and businesses.  

On a personal level, Emma embarked on her last year of middle school and has completely been rocking it. So proud of that girl and all that she has accomplished. She amazes me daily. High school is next – EEEK!!!! 

Rob ended the year with the completion of his 59th round of chemo. It amazes me daily how strong he is and how much fight and determination he has. We received stable scans throughout the year and we expect nothing less for 2023! Love this man of mine. I have been with him longer than I haven’t. Our love is stronger than cancer ever could be! 

2023 – New Me 

I have a lot of plans for me this year. So many! I can’t wait for you to be on this journey with me.  

First and foremost, I want to start a new health journey. Some of my health decisions in 2022 (can someone say takeout???) were not the greatest. I have a lot of plans for my future, my family and Daisy Peach; so I need to make sure I am ready for the journey! I can’t wait and I am excited to get started!! Don’t worry – I will take you on my journey! We are in this together!! 

I am also going to approach this year with a positive mindset. To be completely vulnerable, it is hard to be positive sometimes with the stress of cancer looming over you.  But what I have learned in 2022, I am blessed. I have an amazing husband. We have an outstanding daughter. I am also so blessed to be a part of Rob’s Family. They have supported us in a countless number of ways but most importantly...emotionally. 

It is going to be a great year. We are going to be thrown some curveballs...we know that...but we can take them because we are strong and we are POSITIVE. We got this!!! 

Also on my calendar for 2023...a whole home organization. We have so many things we need to donate and to help those less fortunate. I also want to change up some décor...something I have wanted to do for a few years. I am so excited about this and I can’t wait to share along the way.  

 2023 – New Adventures for Daisy Peach 

We have SO MANY THING IN STORE for Daisy Peach Boutique this year. Yall I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! We have a new division launching; new products; new states; and a new box option. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Final Thoughts 

As I conclude, I just want to thank you all again for your support and kindness. I would not be here without you all! 2023 is going to be such a great year and I am so happy you will be on this journey with me!!!!!
