2020. The year that would either make or break me. We all felt that way at one point or another. But for me, it was a reality. <\/p>
After teaching for 7 years, I was having a breakdown. I decided in October of 2019 that I would not be returning to the classroom for the 20\/21 school year. It all came to a head at the start of 2020. I was having panic attacks multiple times a week. My depression crippled me. I felt like I was barely functioning. I ended up taking medical leave in February which transitioned into teaching from home once the schools closed due to COVID-19.<\/p>
Thank the Lord for therapy. My wonderful therapist asked me what I do that makes me happy. Answer? Anything outside, spending time with my son, and quilting.<\/p>
Now, I only do work that makes me happy. I have rediscovered my passion. I have flexibility. I have the time with my son, especially now that we are doing homeschool. <\/p>
EXPANSION! Well, slowly expanding.<\/p>
For the moment, I am going to be content and happy in the season I’m in. But…… We are going to get a location! Patchwork Acres will actually be on…..acres! <\/p>
Levi and I are very excited about buying a plot of land that will become home to both of our businesses. <\/p>
