Caribbean Inspiration

"Life is lived forward but understood backwards"

That was my mum's reaction to the changes I've had to make in the way I'm running my business.

Something that initially pissed me off and turned my plans upside down actually turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. 

Before we left to Guadeloupe I made the decision to leave the store space I had just moved into a few months earlier.
I left Sweden knowing that everything would be different when I came back.
After my initial anger dissipated all I felt was relief.
I felt relieved and maybe even a little proud that I was strong enough to jump into the unknown in order to get out of a situation where I wasn't allowed to grow.

The anger that had kicked me into action made room for inspiration. 
And what better place to get inspired than the Caribbean!
