Hello, lovely readers,

I'm Mellie Lu, the heart and soul behind Mellie Muse. Today, I'm sharing a story close to my heart—the story of how Mellie Muse came to life. It's a tale of love, loss, creativity, and empowerment, deeply inspired by the most incredible woman I've known, my mother, Cat aka Cathy Lu.

My mother was a beacon of joy and encouragement. Her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering belief in the power of positive thinking have been my guiding stars. When we recently lost her, the void she left was profound. Grief is a rollercoaster with no clear end in sight, but I found solace in the very things she always encouraged in me: creativity, positivity and empowering others. It became my refuge, a way to navigate through my loss, keeping her spirit alive within me. Honestly, I might be a tad obsessed with making her proud.

Mellie Muse is not just a business; it's a legacy project that my mom and I dreamt of together. She believed in the strength and potential of every individual, especially women, to achieve their goals and dreams. She did not always have the best cirumstances but she always made the best of things. We spent many hours talking about how our mindset was a little different than most. Our hearts were even bigger, having struggled alot in our lives we never let it dull our light. This belief, combined with our shared passion for creativity and personal growth, is the foundation of Mellie Muse. I embarked on this journey to honor her memory by spreading the same joy and encouragement she bestowed so generously on everyone she knew.

In this digital age, where we are constantly bombarded with the noise of comparison and competition, Mellie Muse aims to be a sanctuary. It's for women everywhere who, like me, are navigating their paths through personal and professional landscapes, seeking support, inspiration, and empowerment.

The essence of Mellie Muse is to offer tools—be it through beautifully designed templates, empowering workbooks, or soul-nourishing affirmations—that facilitate creativity, foster personal growth, and support business endeavors. More than that, it's about building a positive, safe, and supportive community where every woman feels seen, heard, and inspired to reach her fullest potential.

I've witnessed firsthand how embracing positivity can be a powerful coping mechanism for grief and how the pursuit of personal and professional goals can be a source of healing and empowerment. It is this transformative experience I wish to share and promote through Mellie Muse. But with a side of humor, becasue well laughter is the best medicine.

As we continue to grow, I remain committed to my mom's legacy of spreading joy and encouragement. Mellie Muse is more than a brand—it's a movement towards a more supportive, empowered, and creative world for women.

To every woman who has ever doubted her strength, to every creative soul searching for her muse, and to every entrepreneur on the brink of her next big leap: Mellie Muse is here for you. Together, let's embark on this journey of discovery, creativity, and empowerment. 

With all my heart,

Mellie Lu
