I NEVER expected this

It’s been a long road full of hard days and anxious nights. I never thought I’d run a business, let alone one in my field of passion. Going off of a whim I had in college, sick of my 🐂💩 I.T. job, I started writing and illustrating these little magic letters. 8 years later, I’m totally self sufficient. I can feed, house, and clothe myself and my family thanks to Charm Post. And I actually love what I do to be able to do so 🖤

Not quite what I expected…

It smelled beautiful but I was expecting it to be loud. I love gourmand scents so I definitely fell in love with it. Perfect for layering though.

I Started Crocheting in My 50s… and It Changed More Than I Expected 🧶✨

I never imagined that picking up a crochet hook in my 50s would become one of my favorite forms of self-care. Crochet helps calm my mind, ease my anxiety, and slow down in a world that always seems to be rushing. Every stitch reminds me to be patient, creative, and present. This little doll i

Never expected this

I didn’t realize how much I have changed not just with my body, but in my mind, and my confidence in myself. I used to never take full body pictures but now I actually do! I still have a ways to go to get where I wanna be, but I can honestly say I’m proud of how far I’ve come ❤️ #myjourney #sel

Went as well as I expected…

I came across this TikTok trend where people tell their significant other they signed up for caroling, so I figured I’d give it a try. My girlfriend isn’t exactly the biggest fan of Christmas compared to me, but I thought it’d be funny to see her reaction. Let’s just say… it went about as well as I

I know it’s easy to be a skeptic because the internet is a wild place 😂🙈. I was iffy too! I always wondered how people made money online and then I went out and figured it out myself. Regular people like me are figuring out ways to make money online and running with it. The internet is a powerful t

One thing I never expected was using AI to create another stream of income.

I opened my laptop thinking I was just learning a new tool. I didn’t realize it would introduce me to opportunities I didn’t even know existed. Now I use AI to help create content, save time, and build an income stream outside of my regular job. I’m still learning every day, but it’s amazi

Self-acceptance is harder than expected

For most of my life, I thought that the negative things I said about myself were just signs of me becoming comfortable with who I was. It felt like a coping mechanism, like I was learning to take control of the narrative and not let anyone else's words affect me. But deep down, I never realized
