Where it all began for me

I decided to start Rosebud Squire because I felt I had a greater purpose for my life than how I was experiencing it. And that feeling cultivated strong feelings in me during the rise of Covid in Spring and Summer of 2020. After my 1st and 3rd graders were done with our first round of e-learning in June, I suddenly had a lot more time on my hands. Time to really think about what I was capable of. My hour-long commute each way turned into an hour-long walk with my dog, Cocoa, in the mornings and an extra hour of time to spend with my kids in the evenings. Crazy how those small changes made such a difference in my daily life. Then there was the slower pace of time we had adopted without having to rush from school to soccer, gymnastics, swimming, tennis, ect. Then rushing back home to heat up a quick dinner, rush through homework, showers and bedtime. We all felt a bit of relief in that, as well as in our social life that came to a sudden halt. But without the busy weekend schedule, my husband and I finished projects around the house that we had left unfinished for months on end, we played board games with our kids, went on family bike rides, and watched movies together. I fell in love with this new way of living and I wasn’t sure I could go back to the way things were. I didn’t want to be away from my house for 10 hours every day anymore, I actually kind of liked it here.

So I dove into some personal development books and discovered The Audacity to Be Queen by Gina DeVee. I was so touched at the way she spoke to me, if felt so personal, like she knew me and what I wanted. And better yet, she helped me believe for myself that what I wanted was not only possible for me, it was MEANT for me!

So I made the decision to build a plan for a business. It was organic and beautiful, and mostly in my head! But I knew it was special. I started with mood boards and photo searches, then I searched for phrases and names that would fit my new vision. I was listening to a meditation one morning after my walk with Cocoa, and it just came to me out of thin air...but I know now that it wasn’t thin air, it came to me from universal intelligence, from God! Rosebud Squire - Rosebud for the name of the street I live on now - my present, and Squire for the name of the street I grew up on, my past. Because it was when I lived on Squire lane, back when I was in high school, that I dreamed of following God’s purpose for me, I knew God had something special in store for me. And it was here, living on Rosebud Way, at 38 years old, that I finally discovered how to bring that purpose to fruition!
