Encouragement

A running theme in starting my business has been encouragement. Why encouragement? I believe that encouragement is the driving agent behind every success. Some rare people are self motivators all the time. Most of us need that verbal encouragement that comes from being seen by others. Encouragement keeps you going in seasons of doubt, insecurity, and silence. When I first started calligraphy, I had two specific people that saw beauty in the mess that was my endless scraps of notepads I was writing in each day. I’ve had many people along the way when I was growing weary of the long hours I put into learning pointed pen calligraphy, to say keep going. Or when I had no idea how to address a wedding envelope and make it all line up, saying- “I like how these letters lean, this one looks great”. I think encouragement brings out the best in others. My main mission in my business and in the classes I teach is encouragement. Everyone wants to be seen, noticed, and propelled further. So today remember that everyone has a beginning. You never know who just might need that one big push to get started, or to keep going.
