Where has M+M been in 2024? Serious openness coming:
2024 has been a tough year medically, if I can be real. I hoped to resume momentum with the shop after our move in April. Unfortunately, at that time, I developed a condition in which I dealt with dizzy spells. They started out happening every couple of days for a few hours at time until it was nearly all day, every day. I also experienced a high number of panic attacks, in part because of this condition. I saw an ENT, had a brain MRI, went to the ER, and eventually, miraculously was freed from this daily burden after stopping 2 supplements I’d started this year. Sadly, though, I lost my precious Oliver around the same time, which made it difficult to do much of anything.
ADDITIONALLY, I’ve been dealing with near-daily fatigue, especially on weekends, oftentimes debilitating. Thankfully, my assessments for ADHD and ASD are underway. I’m hoping that this will help my energy levels. If not, one of my doctors wants me to be tested for autoimmune disorders.
If you’ve got it in you to send a little prayer or good vibes, I would seriously appreciate it. I’m trying new techniques to start designing again. I hope to get the momentum up, way up, in 2025.
To those who continued to support M+M this year, THANK YOU! Your orders seriously gave me something to be excited about. Something to put my focus into. Every order was no less than an absolute joy.
Here, you can see something I’ve been working to understand and implement: Silicone slider clasps for bracelets and if you don’t have one of these, you need one now! Easiest way to wear beautiful, dainty bracelets. I’m stoked to start providing this style of bracelet through the shop. This is just one of the many new offerings I’m looking forward to introducing.
So if you supported this small business in 2024, whether through orders or social media following or wearing your jewelry or simply mentioning M+M… thank you. From the very bottom of my little heart. Much love to all of you. 🩷🩵
