From Flea Market Ventures to Spiritual Renewal: A Story of Balance and Belonging
12/19/23 • 37 min
Join me, Rebekah, on a heartfelt journey through the twists and turns of embracing the vibrant world of flea markets and finding balance amidst life's ebbs and flows. Over the last six months, I've carved out my niche as a permanent vendor at the famous Rose Bowl flea market, evolving from early morning setups with a rented U-Haul to efficiently running our booth with a snug cargo van. Along the way, I've transformed estate sale hunts with my family into shared treasures and navigated the financial rollercoaster from merely breaking even to celebrating profitable weekends. It's been a tale of adapting, learning, and finding joy in the unexpected.
The narrative takes a deeper, more personal turn as I share my recent life changes and spiritual resurgence. Answering the call for stability, I've made a return to the part-time workforce, which unexpectedly led me back to the familiar corridors of a doctor's office, where both challenges and a warm welcome awaited me. Balancing this with my market venture has been a practice in gratitude and growth. Amidst these life shifts, I've rediscovered my faith, finding solace and strength in preparation for a church wedding with my beloved partner. Together, we're building a future grounded in spirituality and community, sharing the trials and triumphs of committing to a life interwoven with grace.
