*MUST READ HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT*
first off welcome to 2025! I hope that everyone is happy, healthy, and thriving. 2024 was a doosy that's for sure. 2024 made me do some serious soul searching and self reflecting on a personal basis, on a business basis it wiped us out. I wish that this post was going to be about dancing unicorns, rainbows, and happy mushrooms but unfortunately it's not going to be. So buckle up, grab your emotional support blanket, your hot coffee and lock in because I'm about to take you on a serious emotional journey. Almost 10 years ago I was wrongfully let go from a business because I was pregnant and that was not the "image" they were looking for. So I left the animal nutrition world and gave birth to my amazing little phoenix! After looking into his eyes I couldn't dare go back on the road where I was away from him almost every night, my soul couldn't handle it. So when he was 5 months old I took the leap of a lifetime I opened double p western store in April 2016. Wow was it scary, we opened up in a little store front at 29 w main street above the pharmacy. I had my amazing fiance, father, and mother to thank for making my dreams come true of owning my own store that phoenix could grow up in. The whole time you guys got to know my little family and watched the milestones. You guys watched tyler and I get married 10-15-16, watched phoenix take his first steps, his first words, his first days of school. You watched me bawl when the first day of kindergarten came because phoenix wouldn't be with me everyday and numerous people came in to comfort me and check on me. You were there with us threw his sicknesses, his happiness, and his joyful moments. Now you have all watched him go into 3rd grade and start turning into the amazing, helpful, and loving little man that he is. You were there when I lost both my basset hounds a year apart, lola lost her eye, huckle was crippled, and guy broke his leg. you were always there with me. You all became part of the family. Owning double p was a dream that you all made come true ♡ Unfortunately with some dreams they are meant for a short time and not a long time. between us 2024 was horrible. But I kept telling myself hang in there, people are barely surviving that's why I'm seeing no one its going to get better. But between us it didn't get better it got worst... alot worst... I realized thru this year my soul (yes I'm a hippy lol) wasn't feeling full. I was drained, tired, and exhausted. But I kept saying it's ok, it's going to pick up, just shove your emotions down and be thankful that your living your dream. Finally November came and tyler and I were on our way to indiana to meet my parents to get phoenix back from him visiting them for Thanksgiving and I was telling tyler this was no longer my dream. I have had enough and I'm done. Emotionally, mentally, and physically I don't have the fight left in me it's time to focus on making my soul happy. I had to find a purpose for me. So on the way home I applied to go back to college. I know your thinking keisha has lost her mind haha. I thought so too. well 2 weeks later I got the final call from my college that I was accepted into the school of social work for my masters, so that i can become a therapist. for the first time in a long time I have felt happy and at peace. Its my time to try and change this horrible world that my son is growing up in. Its my time to help the youth, its my time to shine. So this fast forwards us to the last 2 weeks of 2024.... I have made the decision to close double p western store down. so starting today we are going to be liquidating the business off. The whole month of January EVERYTHING will be 10% off in store; except consignment and items that are already way past 10% off. Why are we not doing the consignment items you ask? Well thats because with sad news I also have happy news ♡ I have 2 years of school before I graduate with my degree. SOOOOO.... I have decided to completely turn double p western store over to a consignment shop! we will now be called Double P Preloved thrift co. It's going to be a slow transition, I believe, as we get rid of merchandise. But it also might go really quick I guess time will tell. I appreciate every single one of you, truly thank you from the bottom of mine, Tyler's, and phoenixs heart. I am beyond excited for the next chapter and I cannot wait to turn this over into a rocking consignment shop and rock this world becoming a therapist ♡ much love - Keisha
