**NEWS FLASH** 📰
It's been a hot minute. How are you all? How has your summer been? ☀️
So. I've got news. Two topics here. They are both big deals, so listen up! 👂
I am not posting a joke--I am serious. 🤔
After a lot of prayers, thoughts, considerations, and any other synonyms that comply with these words. . . I am closing the bakery. 🎂 🍪 Side note, if you are a long time repeat customer, I will try and accomodate you. (Stormie, I have you on my mind with that.) 🦕
I've decided not because I'm burned out--I am not--but bc I am going back to school! It's time to make changes, I do this about every ten years and coincidentally, I have been a licensed bakery for 10 years. I love, love, love going to school. If I could make being a student a career, I'd jump on that! This time, I am going back to school for the SUDP Program. This stands for substance use disorder professional. My occupation would be counseling a recovering addict thru their recovery by planning an individuals recovery, facilitating group sessions, one on one, communicating progress to psychiatrists and therapists. . . Stuff I've now got life experience with. I plan on rolling that A.A. to the Bachelor's degree for Behavioral Health. An actual therapist!
Meanwhile, I will also be volunteering at Peer Olympia to be a recovery coach for others in their sobriety journey.
With these things happening, plus still the farm life. . . I just don't have time for a bakery.
I will be liquidating a lot of my bakery items, so if you've got a need for something, lemme know.
