FAQ

What do I need to make this theme work?

You will need a self hosted blog with WordPress installed. Need hosting? I’m in love with Bluehost and their easy, one-click WordPress install. A wordpress.com website with a BUSINESS account will also work!


What can be customized on the homepage?

Just about anything! There are 5 custom widgets you can use to build your homepage + a custom styled testimonial widget, a custom styled featured post widget, a custom styled newsletter widget, and a custom styled products section. You can arrange the sections in any way you’d like. You can change the content, colors, images and background images. You don’t have to use every widget or widget area I used in the demo. Use them all, or use a few. It’s up to you!


How large should my images be?

Your featured images should be around 1650 pixels wide if you’re using the large hero option on single posts and pages. Your hero image on the front page should be 1700 x 800 pixels. Other post/page images should be at least 1085 pixels wide.


I don’t want a shop. Is that okay?

Totally! If you don’t want a shop, simply don’t install WooCommerce & Genesis WooCommerce connect when installing the theme.


If I purchase, will you help me if I get stuck or have more questions?

I’m always happy to help! I’ve created tutorials on how to install & setup your new template. If you need more assistance, you can always email me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!

*Disclaimer: I do not provide support on how to make custom code changes to the theme, or other 3rd party plugins that weren’t recommended for the theme. I also don’t provide support for setting up a WooCommerce, unless it’s design related.


Can you install and set up the theme for me?

I’m your girl! Check out my service packages.

/ HARD AND SOFT TRUTHS / Stories told in person cr / HARD AND SOFT TRUTHS / Stories told in person create special moments that connect us. When someone speaks and others listen, we build a little community that fights loneliness. This sharing of words face-to-face is an ancient tradition that helps us feel less alone in our own thoughts.— Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Right now, I am experiencing both sides of what Le Guin describes - the silence of inner solitude and the hunger for genuine connection. During my  transition journey, I might feel like I’m in a crowd yet completely alone, caught between needing space to discover myself and craving authentic understanding from others.

Like a storyteller without an audience, or a listener without a story that speaks to personal experience, I am searching for my kindreds in a world where I can be fully present and fully seen.

Does anyone relate? 

This tension is natural. A need for solitude that honors the personal nature of journey, giving you room to hear your own voice clearly. Yet your desire for connection acknowledges that transformation is also communal - we understand ourselves better when reflected in others’ understanding.

Perhaps what we are seeking isn’t just any connection, but those rare, fragile moments of communion where your authentic self can be shared and witnessed without translation or compromise.

Distilling season has arrived.

This year’s batch is named…Sweet Surrender. 

The beauty of sweet surrender lies in the profound peace and liberation that comes from letting go of control and trusting in a higher purpose or outcome. It involves accepting things as they are, without resistance or attachment to specific outcomes. Sweet surrender allows one to release stress, anxiety, and the need to constantly manage or manipulate situations, fostering a sense of inner calm and contentment. It opens the door to new possibilities, connections, and a deeper connection with oneself and others. Ultimately, it is about finding freedom in relinquishing the need to always be in charge and embracing the flow of life with grace and humility.
