It's me, Bridget:) I'm here writing a little story about us. We're Bridget & Jonathan. We're two people who believe there's something more than what the society has taught, shown us or conditioned us to believe. We're two people who're passionate about life and believing in. The standard spelling in modern British English is splendour', with ' splendor being the American and dated British spelling.
Your economy is only based on your trade roads, from the colonies or other factions, Britain has to maintain a good relationship with others or has to build a solid colonial Imperialism in danger since the American Revolution.
At the West, the United States are a danger for the American colonies and Iroquois confederation is not enough powerful to resist against the new raising nation, you have to act quickly if you want to keep Canada. At the East, the war between Mughals and Marathas is almost over and the winner will probably ask supremacy on the British East India Company territories.
The advantages playing Britain is the possibility of a larger colonial roster compared to the other colonial factions due to a less restricted recruitment limit, supplied by marine troops (Line, Grenadier and Light Infantries) which can be recruited on the American coastal territories and local auxiliary units (Native American units, Black Slave, Sepoys), however their upkeep cost us pretty high so be careful to a good enough economy to support your colonial expeditions.nnIf one your trade road is blocked you will have the chance to review the economic issues from the original IS (in clear it will be difficult not to have a game over), so be careful to secure those and to have good diplomatic relations with the other factions...
It's me, Bridget :)
I'm here writing a little story about us.
We're Bridget & Jonathan.
We're two people who believe there's something more than what the society has taught, shown us or conditioned us to believe.
We're two people who're passionate about life and believing in creating the life we desire with our mind, energy, and beliefs.
We believe anything is possible with LOVE :) And are the two biggest believers that everything happens for a reason--for a beautiful reason (even if it may not seem like at the time)
I wish I could say that… with all these positive mindset, our lives are all set and we’ve got everything figured out… haha~ it’d certainly be nice! :D
But I want to be real and raw with you :)
We don’t yet have our lives figured out, we’re still in the process of learning and understanding life… about the process of owning a business, learning to stand on our own, supporting ourselves, and most importantly… understanding and connecting with our heart, our purpose, the core of who we are.
Jonathan and I spent the past 7 years trying to make a spiritual healing business happen. But it didn’t go the way we wanted. I then went through a deep depression, feeling lost, confused, and almost felt like I lost my very own identity through the process.
Finally, I decided I needed to take a break & get back to myself. Instead of constantly being in service to others, being in the mode of “give, give, give” & “do, do, do…” I really needed that love, time & care for myself.
Even though it’s supposed to be a process of self-care and self-love, I’d still constantly ask myself “Bridget, if not the healing practice anymore, what else would you want to do?”
Honestly, I didn't know the answer to that question, and it scared me. Because I always knew what I wanted to do in life, and I’d go for it.
But this was the first time in my life that I’d completely lost direction, clarity and faith in myself, my purpose… and what I’m truly here to do.
Until one day, Jonathan was introduced to the e-commerce business and he helped open a doorway to the light and hope within me that I thought I’d lost. :)
In the beginning, I didn’t know what I wanted to sell… I just came in with the mindset of… “sure… let’s give it a shot”
And I thought of selling dog related products, because we had a little yorkie who passed the rainbow bridge in July of 2016. And I thought I’d create a business in memory of her.
But it somehow didn’t feel right… I didn’t feel motivated to do it… In other words, I was really half ass about it.
Until one day, I took the time to sat with myself, looked within, asked and felt my heart… “what do you REALLY want, Bridget?”
And a settle, gentle, joyful feeling & idea came through…
Earrings! Necklaces!! Bracelets!!! MY FAVORITE!!! YES!! I’ve ALWAYS LOVED earrings and necklaces ever since I was little!! That feels right! YES! But… I also want it to be more than just a site that sells jewelries...
I want it to be a site where I can share my growth, learnings, and stories with others and connect with them on a deeper level. Cuz deep down, I know I have sooo much to share… :)
Selling jewelries may or may not bring one happiness, but sharing stories, love and connection through this site may be able to touch someone’s heart on a level that’s beyond what my mind can measure :)
And so with most of the products I sell here comes with a little story… a little love, a little connection, with the intention to serve as a reminder that you’re loved, you’re beautiful, and you’re more than what you believe is possible :)
I love you <3
Even though I don’t know you, but I know in my heart that we’re all connected on some level. And I’m so grateful for you for being here. Thank you for being part of our journey, thank you for being you, thank you for showing up :) You’re sooo much more important than you know it :)
And if you’ve read this far, thank you for trusting me and allowing my energy & love to touch your heart :)
I love you and am sending you so much love <3
