Twenty Years

Dear Valued Simply Personal Customers,

A new season approaches, and with a heart full of gratitude, I'm writing to share an important update. After two decades of dedicated service, Simply Personal has concluded operations. The trust and confidence my cherished clients have placed in me over these years has been an extraordinary privilege—a gift I will forever hold close to my heart.

While we are closing this chapter, the memories we’ve created together will forever remain. Over the years, Simply Personal has been privileged to stand at the threshold of thousands of love stories—witnessing the magical first moments of marriages that would blossom into lifelong journeys. We were not just observers, but quiet guardians of those precious beginnings, instrumental in crafting the inaugural steps of countless families' most cherished chapters.

These memories are more than lasting impressions; they are living, breathing testimonials to the human connections we've been blessed to support. Each wedding, each moment of anticipation and joy, has been etched into our hearts with profound tenderness. We have been entrusted with your most intimate celebrations, your deepest hopes, and your most radiant dreams—a responsibility we have always held with the utmost reverence and care.

As we transition, my heart overflows with gratitude. To each client who placed their trust in us, who allowed us to be a small but significant thread in the fabric of their most significant life moments—thank you. Your support, your vulnerability, and your confidence have been the true gift. 

As one door closes, another opens with boundless possibility. I'm excited to share that my passion for creativity continues through Sealy DIY Studio, a non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing the imagination of young minds. In a world increasingly dominated by screens and digital distractions, we're creating a vibrant, hands-on sanctuary where children can explore, create, and discover the joy of making. This studio is a place where kids are encouraged to get messy, think boldly, and unleash their creativity. 

We invite you to be part of this transformative journey. Your generosity can help make a profound difference in a child's life. By contributing to our scholarship fund, you can gift a student the opportunity to attend our 2025 summer camps—a chance to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop skills that will last a lifetime. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us break down barriers and provide enriching experiences for children who might not otherwise have such opportunities.

With deepest appreciation and warmest wishes,
