I have been away from my business for over a year now. I sort of lost myself when my husband John, my best friend, my everything for 25 years suddenly died of Covid in September of 2021. It has been a very long and hard road for me. I was completely devastated, and pretty much shut down for about 6 months.
Everything that happened was very traumatizing for me. If you have never heard of the term “Widow Brain”, count yourself lucky. I had big time Widow Brain. My brain still feels different, slower and panicky like. Like the loading animation for videos where it just spins. That’s how my brain feels. My Dr. told me that I still have Trauma Brain. I am dealing with that, it has improved a lot, but I am still not my normal self yet. But I am slowly getting back to me.
But, yay, my creativity is coming back. Which is great because I wasn’t sure that it would ever come back. I have started painting again. I also made some new resin pieces to make some cool new digital products with.
So, I am slowly gearing up to put some new Shawnna’s Designs goodies out. I have some fun things planned. New stuff.
Thanks for being patient and following me through all of this.
