Mission
The reason I started this business is that I recently woke up to
realize that my work is incongruent with my life. In trying
to conform to a logical way to make a living I have separated my
artistic needs and financial ones. My metaphysical roots
and emotional and intuitive needs became secondary to fitting
into society with a real job. Often I tried to blend those
interests — by becoming a Casting director I supported my
artistic side while supporting the underappreciated actors in the
world. Using my altruistic emotional side I enjoyed finding
people work. Feeling that I must find something acceptable
to do that is easily recognized, I became more and more negative,
trying to keep my selves separate and maintain mental
control.
As I've taken steps forward to start my own company, I've
also taken a philosophical leap into the void - a step out of
controlling forces and a move toward flowing with them. I realize
I can't honor anyone else's choices without making strong
commitments to my own. I can't help other people find
their dreams without doing it first myself. In the past two
years I have taken steps towards fulfilling my dreams. I have
brought music back in to my life by returning to singing
opera. I have added dance and changed my social
interactions so that they welcome and nurture people who are on
similar paths. My next step is to bring all of my self to
this company. To integrate my dreams, to continue the growth
process and make my life congruent again.
My mission is to treat my customers with integrity and honor. I
expect the best from my suppliers, to seek out the highest
qualities of materials, organic whenever possible, keep to the
parameters of bio-diversity. Keep knowledge in the forefront,
continue the Aromatherapy education of everyone involved in this
company. Keep an open forum on other alternative health care
modalities. Create a way to support charities for the arts with
my composer blends. I will maintain responsibility, I will treat
my staff with the same respect that I expect, and I promise I
won't use voice mail as weapon.
