Welcome!

Hello! My name is Merissa, and I am the founder of Her Dream Co. Our mission is to empower women one candle at a time. If you've purchased a candle from us (THANK YOU!) then you know just how special they are. Not only are they clean burning with quality ingredients, but they represent that there is light at the end of the tunnel for you and your journey.

My intention for this blog is to spark some motivation and inspiration for you to keep going, even in your darkest moments and to remind you that you're not alone and you are loved! You were created on purpose and for a purpose. I will also be sharing tips that have helped me, and I know they can help you too, to get out of your own way and start living the life that is burning within you.

I will be posting weekly here and sometimes they will be quick and sweet, while others may be longer. If you know me, you know I can chat anyone's ear off!

To get this blog rolling- I want to give you 3 tips on how you can be sure to have a great start to the week.

1) Have a list of the top 3 things you need to get done this week to move the needle forward for your goals? What are the MUST DO's? We so often get caught up in the craziness of our week and LIFE that we get paralyzed by everything and (if you're like me) tend to do freeze and don't do anything that is going to move the needle forward for your goals! Grab a journal right now and make a list. Start with everything and narrow it down to the top 3 things. Make sure those 3 things get done by the end of the week.

2) Plan something for YOU! Yes, I know...this can be seen as selfish or a waste of time. But hear me out, if you're not filling your cup and loving on you, then who is? This is your responsibility and a boundary you need to start making. It doesn't have to cost anything, it can simply be listening to a good song, or reading a book, or going for a walk. Of course, if you want to splurge, then get your hair or nails done! Do something that makes you excited and something you look forward to! Remember, when you feel better - you do better.

3) Talk to your spouse about your goals. Get them excited, rope them in your ideas! Sure, they can fake being excited or that they know what you're talking about but sharing your ideas and dreaming of something you both can look forward to brings a lightness in your life you can't help but get excited! Maybe it's not your spouse, but maybe it's a girlfriend or your mentor! Share with someone and get excited! Start to dream again! Life can be tense and exhausting, let loose for a bit and dream about what is possible for you! What is something that gets you excited? What is a dream you've had but haven't pursued? Journal it and start to plan how you can achieve it!

I appreciate you and I love you!! Have the best start to your week, friends!

Xo, Merissa
