Genesis of a Business

So, I think that this blog will be the hardest one to write, it is the FIRST blog. Hopefully, one of many on my journey toward creating a new business that encompasses greeting cards, thank you notes, and invitations. My longer range plans also include purses, wedding invitations, and party favor boxes. All made by hand, from my heart, because I have a need/ desire to create. I have a LOVE of all things cute, and must contribute to the world of cute!

The business has also sprung from a desire for inner peace, because when I am working on things for the biz, I get into a Zen like state. If you’ve read A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle, you will understand what I mean when I say that crafting really brings me into the moment. It is almost like something is working through me. I know, it is kind of existential or new age, call it what you will, it is how I feel, all the way down to my toes.

So the name, it really does have a sweet origin. I have 2 adorable and amazing little ones whom I have lovingly called Sweet Pea on many occasions. When my littlest was just a new baby, I often called her Sweet Pea. My 2 year old son, at the time, quickly picked up on this term and began to call her Sweet Pea as well. It melted my heart to hear this sweet endearment from such a little one as he. At about this same time, my son also began telling me secrets. Sometimes they were funny; sometimes they were unintelligible as 2 year olds can be. Mostly, they were just sweet nothings, whispered in my ear. Sweet Pea Secrets was what my business HAD to be named. It may not make sense, but it sure is sweet.

I hope you enjoy what will no doubt sometimes be an unintelligible stream of thought rantings and ravings. I do have a tendency to literarily stomp my feet and wave my hands. Consider yourself forewarned. Thanks for reading.
