I feel very strongly that our name does not fully reflect this space for what I envision it to be. I am learning alot on this journey with Skool, and I want this to be and feel like a safe space, but I also want to feel comfortable. All of the principles laid out thus far are as they should be, but some of the verbiage is not me. You see, my goal for this community is for it to be a relaxed space for aspiring makers who want to build a creative rhythm for their mental health in the comfort of their own space without the fear of 'doing it wrong' or the overwhelm of starting alone. Part of that goal has to incorporate the raw me. You see, I am not refined. I often speak in circles and my words rarely flow like a poetic chorus. I can write that way, but I don't speak that way. I want to be comfortable in the videos, I want to be 100% real, because i want YOU to feel safe to do the same. I feel like the Midful Stitch is a part of what it's about, however, I'm far more whitty and basic than the spa experience that name implies. Therefore, today, our name changes (hopefully for the last time) to The Hook Nook Sanctuary. Because I value your input, I'd like to hear what you think?

Are you ready to drop expectations and craft what resignates with you? Join us, as we commit to shopping our own stash for the month! https://www.skool.com/naturally-melissamade-4658/classroom/45cfc011?md=menu
