“Is it crazy that I’m grateful for all the pain?
‘Cause I’m a little bit hurt but a lot more free” 🎶 A Lot More Free-Max McNown
There is no secret as I have been incredibly transparent about my mental health journey this year, but…
I am so glad to be posting this for those of you new here as I am doing SO much better ❤️
I won’t lie, there were days I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to a place to be posting this….or truly if I’d be here to post it. This past year, and the summer in particular I found myself in an incredibly dark place that I wasn’t sure I could ever climb out from no matter how hard I tried.
But this fall, I woke up one day and told myself it was time to climb the mountain ⛰️. And while I certainly continue to go 5 climbs up and may fall back down 2, I’m still climbing and won’t stop until I reach the top.
Mental health is a lifelong journey . There are no exceptions , you can have a million dollar lifestyle or be struggling, mental health does not pick and choose who it hits and it takes no mercy no matter who you are or what your life looks like.
With the help of incredibly therapist, immense support from family and friends, and even so many of you I am so proud to say I am truly excited to get up each day and get going.
I’ve made some major changes in my life I didn’t even realize I needed and doubled down on the work I knew I needed to do to get here.
As far as Vignon, I still will continue to take the roll of just running our social media and marketing as that is where I’ve found my niche and happiness. Bill is your head man, and as of November 1st we have a really fun surprise of a new/previous employee that so many of you loved that is returning to us!
To round out my first return of , I want to leave you with this…
You matter.
You are loved.
I see you.
Keep going and never give up ❤️
Thank you to all of you who have reached out and supported me this year, my husband and kids, my incredible friends, doctors, and so many more who will never fit here.
Much love to you all,
Ashley
