iPhone and iPad Case Update, and an Announcement

Throughout this month, Charlie and I have been working tirelessly to get designs up onto our online store. It’s been a very meticulous process, but it’s all been worth it! Slowly but surely our designs are getting put up and I’m so happy we’re almost done for the Summer ’12 line. After this is done, our next project is our look book. I know that’s going to be such a big undertaking. But I’m excited about it at the same time.

I’ve been transitioning my role and the way it affects the company. I’ve been digging deep and really making tough decisions these past few months. Based on our personal and professional goals and a lot of prayer I think I’m finally walking down the right path. At the end of last month, I decided to focus solely on graphic design. CO will continue to provide graphic design and web services, invitations and custom stationery, as well as iPhone and iPad cases.

I was going back and forth about this decision as the past 7 years of my life have been dedicated to the wedding planning industry. To let go of that aspect of my life and career was very difficult for me. I worked so hard, I planned so many events, I met so many great people, and me giving up would mean I failed.. All I thought about was why I should stay. But slowly, it started to crumble away and I started to realize why I should leave. In fact, the last 3 years have been me going back and forth about it. Instead of wanting an answer that same day (cuz that’s just how I roll), I decided to let go and let God. And quickly, he gave me the answer.

Now, I couldn’t be happier! Things have been moving along on my new career path swimmingly and I’m incredibly excited about where my new career path is going to take me. Letting go of my old path may mean I failed, or it may not. But what matters most is that I don’t care. It just means I fell and got back up, better than ever.

Since I’m in a happy mood we’re going to do a contest in June! We’re going to be giving away a free iPad case and a free iPhone in celebration! Stay tuned for details everyone!

Courage is Where I Lacked the Most

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been timid. When I was in school, from grade school to college, I was shy, awkward, and always felt like I was never good enough. There was always this feeling of needing to please everyone, yearning for acceptance, the need to make people proud, and do what was expected of me. The confidence that I lacked shaped my entire life. But last year, after 20 years of my own self-inflicted torture I finally found my courage. I realized that gaining confidence in myself  gave me all those things that I thought I needed first – acceptance, pride, and expectations. That courage, that awesome feeling of empowerment helped me to realize so many things in my personal and professional life.

I found my courage to embrace who I am…flaws and strong points.
I found the courage to be proud of what I’ve accomplished so far in life…and know that my experience is invaluable.
I found my courage to put myself first…so I can give more to others.
I found my courage to be confident in myself…because God made me in his image for a reason.
