Have you ever had a moment where something didn't work out for you, but later realized that it had to happen that way?
I originally wasn't even planning to go full time.
At the time, I was working under someone but I knew I was ready for something of my own. My plan was to start slow: find a space one day a week and get a feel before going all in.
I found a space and on paper it made sense.
But if I'm being completely honest, something felt off from the beginning. Nothing I could fully explain, just a feeling.
And I ignored it.
But looking back, I needed that moment. I truly believe things don't happen to us, they happen for us.
I signed anyway and it ended up falling through on the landlord's end.
At the time, it was frustrating because I had already done outreach, started consultations, and did all the annoying, tedious behind-the-scenes stuff like paperwork and fees that comes with a starting a business.
Rather than finding another "safe" option, I realized I was ready for more.
I started looking right after I found out for a space full time. That is when I found my suite. When I walked in, it felt completely different. Clear. Aligned. Easy. I could actually see my vision of Barefaced come to life in that space.
I remember calling my parents after and explaining that feeling.
I don't have business partners, so they're the ones who hear everything. Every idea. Every vision. Every little thought that comes to my brain I have. (Mom and dad, thank you for always listening to me, even though I definitely don't give you a choice half the time lol)
When I went forward to sign, that's when I noticed the suite number. Suite 111.
I didn't realize it when I first toured.
If you're not familiar with angel numbers, 111 means a powerful sign of turning thoughts to reality, manifestation, new beginnings, and alignment and trust in the universe.
Whether you believe in angel numbers or not, for me it just felt like confirmation. Like okay, this is aligned. This is where I’m supposed to be.
I think our intuition is always there, even when it doesn’t fully make sense in the moment.
We just don’t always listen to it.
But when you do, things start to feel a lot more clear.
Until next time,
