When Life Changes Overnight
Hello, this is a hard post to write. The 90 days of growing my business is going to have to wait for a while. I was recently diagonised with Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer. I was diagonised on Friday February 13, 2026. I went to the hospital orginally because my eyes were yellow. My daughter pointed it out at first. They did a CT scan and found a mass on my gallbladder and liver.
When the words came out, that it was cancer, the room went quiet, but my mind was racing. “What does this mean for me? For my family? How long do I have?” I remember staring at the doctor's mouth, watching it move, unable to process the details. Part of me wanted to run, and part of me just wanted to freeze time before that moment.
So the new blog posts will be about my journey and what that in tells. I see the oncologist on Monday Feb 23, 2026 and see what treatment I will be receving. I'm still trying to process everything. So please follow along on this new journey. Not sure if that is what to call it or not. But follow along with this new journey.
XOXO,
Hope Angeline

Well, so far I have Failed
It is 8 days into making my business grow for 90 days and I have failed. But I have had a stomach virus this past week. I couldn't keep anything down. I started to feel bad on Monday but did no go to the Urgent Care clinic near my house on Wednesday when it was at it's worse. He gave me something for the nausea and told me to rest for the rest of the week. So that is what I have been doing. I feel a bit better today but still not fully hungry. I have been drinking water and Pedialyte eating the Brat Diet. Bannanas, Rice, Apple Sauce and Toast. To be honest I am so over it and it finished yesterday
So I am going to try again starting tomorrow Monday February 9, 2026. I am going to give myself one more rest day. So I will fill y'all in next Sunday February 15th. Please say a little pray that I feel 100% better and am able to do this. I start to feel bad and need to lay down. This is the 1st day that I am going to try to ignore that.
I hope y'all have a great week and you stay healthy. YAY! Let's do this!
XOXO,

Day 1 of Growing my Business
Well, today is the first day of a 90 day challenge I gave myself to grow my business. Today I posted to IG, TicTok, YouTube and Facebook. I posted a reel of some different Valenties Day bracelets that I made. To be honest I have no idea where to start this challenge. I know I want to grow my sales. If no one is buying anything no there is no business.

I do have a mission statement. To grow Hope Angeline Designs into a recognizable handmade brand kown for creativity, heart, and beautifully curated collections. I might not post everyday to give updates on hows it going but I will update y'all. Next I am going to come up with a schedule for posting. I know I need to come up with daily posts. So hopefully I can do that.

Giving Myself 90 Days To Grow My Small Business
Starting on February 1, 2026 I am going to give myself 90 days to grow and improve my small business. Before the start of February I am going to work on a Business Plan and a schedule. I am so excited for this. I saw a YouTube video of a small business owner working on her business full time. She currently quit her job and is going to document her journey. She is started on January 1st. Since we are mid month thats why I decided to do it starting in February. And decided to document my journey.
I'm hoping that even though I might struggle I'm going to try to stay busy. I'm tired of just being home and not doing anything. So please follow me on this journey. I'll make a business plan and a schedule which I will share with y'all. Today was a rough day. I just wanted to sleep all day. But eventually I did get up and out of bed. Please send me some good vibes and prayers that I can do this. Thanks and I will talk to y'all in a bit.
XOXO,
Hope Angeline

My Valentines Jewelry Collection
I wanted to come on here real quick and show some of Valentines Jewelry Collection! Here are some of the bracelets I made.
If you are intrested or want to check out the other jewelry pieces I have go check out my website at
www.hopeangelinedesigns.com I know I need to start promoting it so I am going to try to make a TicTok, Instagram and a YouTube short.
I am really trying to keep myself busy. Even though I am still struggling with my mental illnesses. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. If you know what I mean. I hope you don't know what I mean. I would not want for someone to feel the same way I do. I try to be fine with everyone, I'd hate for them to worry about me you know. But it's hard.
Well that is all for today. I hope you have a great evening or day when ever you are reading this. I will be back soon! Talk to y'all later.

2 Weeks Into 2026
Well, it has been about two weeks since 2026 started. I have been struggling a lot. I've had things to do but no what to do anything. Today I made myself clean one cabinet in the kitchen. I didnt want to do it but I knew I'd feel better about myself if I did. So I went and clean the cabinet. Took evertthing out then I started a give away pile. Found quite a few things to give away. Tomorrow I want to clean another cabinet in the kitchen. I am trying not to keep everything. I have a bunch of tumblers but am going to get rid of a few.
I also started to make some Valentines Jewelry for my website www.hopeangelinedesigns.com I am going to work hard on it even when I don't feel like it. I know Valentines Day is like in a month, I'm hoping to list everything by Saturday Jan 17, 2026. I havent really done anything. I did make my vision board for 2026. I really hate that I struggle. But I am gonna try my best. I am going to go hour by hour. Start with that. Tomorrow I will post some of my Valentines Jewelry that I have been working on. It'll give me something to look forward to. I am hoping for some more sales this year. I know I have to promote it and everything but I need to get in the right mind set.
That's all for right now. I'll be back with my jewelry tomorrow. Have a a great day or evening. Talk to y'all soon.
XOXO.

2026 BRINGING MY BLOG BACK!
It's now 2026! 2025 full by so fast. I want to bring my blog back. If you don't know I suffer from mental illness. I suffer from Schizoaffective Disorder, Servere Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I see a clinic for my mental illness. I've decided to actually do things this year. I wasted all of last year. It gets so hard living with a mental illnesses. But I am going to try my best to actaully live. Right now I mostly stay home and run errands when I am up to it.
I also started my own website to sell jewelry. I handmake everything by myself. If you would like to take a look at it it is hopeangelinedesigns.com There you can find my creations. I am bad at advertsing it. I try to post about it like on IG or Tik Toc. I get stuck on what to post and how to post. Or I am just not up to doing it because my mind goes crazy with voices and hullucinations. I am on medication for everything but I still struggle.
But I am claiming 2026 is going to be my year! I am going to try to put 100% into my blog and my website. Maybe if I keep my mind busy I can do it. So Let's Do This! I might not post everyday but I am aiming for at least twice a day. Follow along with me as I try to navigate life with mental illness and trying to get out of this servere depression. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Happy New Years!
XOXO,
Hope Angeline
