Store Closing Statement

Friends of Bossy Pants:

After much consideration and prayer, it has become clear that it’s time for me to say goodbye to Bossy Pants. If this news seems shocking to you, trust me, there was no one more shocked than me when I realized that this was the right decision, especially after just pouring so much time and effort into the rebrand.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve realized that I am in over my head with starting what is essentially almost an entirely new business. The amount of work and resources that it will take to make this new chapter a success are just more than I have to give. When looking at all of the factors involved- finances, time limitations, personal life developments and health concerns behind the scenes- it just doesn’t make sense for me to continue on.

While it was startling at first to actually accept that it’s time for me to close the business, I now feel with crystal clarity that this is the right move. I’m grateful for all the blessing that this business has brought to my family, but it’s also been so dang hard! Already, I’m feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders as I look to a future where I can truly prioritize my family and personal life.

I don’t know why it had to happen exactly like this- closing after working so hard on rebranding- but I do know a few things:

That “the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

Proverbs 16:9, 

That “my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”

Isaiah 55:8,

And that “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.”

Psalm 36:5 

So, I will “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”

Proverbs 3:5

Effective immediately, the website is 50% off while supplies last. I will continue running the sale and may be adding more stock as we begin to clear out the workshop. I can’t thank you enough for your support all these years! I’ve learned huge lessons and have grown tremendously in the process. I wish I could hug all of you that have been so supportive every step of the way. You truly changed my  family’s life!

With eternal gratitude,

Lauren
