I am amazed that Salome's Simply Delightful Creations has enjoyed such growth and interest. When I started this company more than a year ago, I was so excited to just make soap and share it with others. I had a vision of using the simple necessity of cleanliness as a vehicle for giving folks permission to take care of themselves in small ways that could lead to big changes in self care and, by extension, care for others. The dream is big and exciting. I love making the products but, like a good cook, I love making them available for others to enjoy all the more.
Recently, a friend ordered a care package for a friend of hers, Jenn, who was facing chemo treatments for a second time. It was my honor to prepare the gift set for Jenn, the strong beautiful mother of four happy, energetic, lovely children. I was honored to know that my products were going on a healing mission. Not that the products are marketed for medicinal properties, but I believe the fact that my friend chose to love on her friend, Jenn, with this gift was a part of her healing process. My friend has since shared with me how much the care package meant to Jenn and how much my friend enjoyed giving the gift.
I share this as a small picture of what I have in mind for the business - making quality products that touch peoples lives. That's what I'm up to - what about you?
