Many people have asked me … what inspired me to make these scarves?

To start my story I need to go back 20 years.

There is no gentle way to say this…so here I go….I was raped. As you can imagine, it was a time of hurt, confusion and great struggle. I was encouraged to seek help and I am so grateful I did!

My Counsellor had me write a note to myself on a piece of paper, with words that reminded me of my great worth, and that I will get through this. I was instructed to carry that note on me every single day. Every time I put something in my pocket I would touch that note and be reminded of what it said. It was a very powerful tool for me in regaining my self-confidence!

Skipping ahead in time….

In 2011, my mother-in-law was undergoing cancer treatment. The chemo treatments made her very sick and she struggled with staying positive. We lived so far apart, I felt helpless to comfort her…so I wanted to send her something to give her the strength and comfort similar to how my note helped me, but also feel like she was wrapped in my love.

I made for her an inspirational message of love, comfort and support printed on a soft pashmina scarf. She loved it!
It made her feel beautiful, strong and loved during the most difficult time.

My goal and hope are for all who wear them to be inspired and uplifted. I think we all deserve to feel that way!
