3/26/2024 STORE SUSPENDED!Our Cafepress, print-on-demand store has been open since March 2004. This original, Teach Peace store opened with Cafepress has been quite an interesting 20-year ride. Our relationship began and continued with a need to make money, but never at the expense of others; that's a long story that goes with the creation of this store. We always seems to have what's needed; as you know, that can be different than what you want.... perhaps knowing the difference is born out of a need. I have what I need most times and oftentimes, balancing the ability to exist in both the spiritual and the material worlds I also, see clearly the need for people to be able to get something inspiring, something of a lost teaching already within yourself, soul food or something that just wasn't out of most peoples reach financially... I get it. Trust me, I get it. I knew early on, our Cafepress store was never about making money. Heck, I the entire 20 year journey has only netted just over $745! You read that correctly: seven hundred... lol! Full disclosure pic of total sales shows 348 total orders and the total income is just a little over $2 profit per sale. hmmm... And if you think that's bad for business, lol, I can tell you right now I've never received anywhere near that from good ole' Cafepress... and this is over a 20 year period: $25 here and there (that used to be the minimum payout threshold: it's now $100 ;) and a few 'Cafebucks' (if they didn't steal those back for some obscure rule about having a premium store at that time, so they could just take your profits - niiiice !). True Story: I never received even the mere $745 they're showing, I've earned. But 348 sales... I'll link that very well into my next project for sure; and this is no small number for what's coming next... stay tuned! This is what happened when you're trying to market and sell without 'spending money to make money'. Doesn't work too well when online marketing depends on ai and (costs money to feed the ai beast) some more. When you don't have money to spend on business needs, you market yourself. I've decided I'm with the wrong print-on-demand partner, period. I've put way too much time in my designs and trying to figure out how to market my messages and do it all by myself... I am done. I love creating. I love the work and have done much of it. It's just not worth trying to put energy into something that isn't providing at least, an equal exchange of energies with my creative work. I'm not good at self promotion. Self promotion makes me anxious and drains my courage. The message of Teach Peace really wasn't a hugely popular thing even just 10 years ago, let alone, 20! Especially in the wake of the 911 massacre, when everyone was running around with yellow ribbons quick to support a military campaign that never justified itself, and [opin] pretty sure was illegal! But hey, "Support our Troops: You're either with us, or against us!" The sheer amount of flack the peacemakers took back then was absurd! SO you see, when I say it's not about the money, you can begin to see that for some of us, the amount of effort, commitment and dedication isn't always as it seems when you're out of the matrix filters and perspectives. It does take money to make money but sometimes, you just have to trust that everything will work out and when that trust turns into knowing, congratulations, you've leveled up! Anyway, that's the short of it so for now, and until I decide later, there is no store! That's actually a good feeling to say, now that I'm more fully letting go. This one took almost a week. It's been almost a week since I noticed some issues with Cafepress and had this website update just sitting on my laptop waiting for me to hit PUBLISH. YIKES! I suppose there's a level up in here for me because I feel something incredibly new incoming, somehow, someway... I just know it! You can always follow me on Instagram @TeachPeaceDesigns to see my physical creations and projects as I post updates over there. The current woodworking project is really a time consumer... and one I'm quite enjoying at the moment. This new work began at the end of this past season of summer in 2023. I've been upleveling my skills as I combine woodcarving, burning, painting, wire wrapping, stone settings, burnishing and creative diversity in general using wood as my canvas for personalized wands. I am in the middle of creating my 2024 Gift Collection! Here's a little slide show I'm sharing with you all! Hope it brings you joy checking it out! One day, I will designs my own workshop and have displays in a little area for my personal studio. I also have plans to create a community studio and workshop when I get my Foundation off the ground. NOTE: During these times, as you are all aware, it takes a great deal of effort just to exist in the energy variations we're now super sensitive to: such as vacillations in heavier density as well as being light as a feather... This is for everyone including myself: REST WHEN NEEDED!
The creative process is what I've found works best for me. I hope you're all into something creative as well because I know how well it works for me, especially for grounding and integrating light. This is my daily medicine in practice. Namaste! Original Store Visit Lynda Light to see all current Projects.
