Meeting hate with more Love June 27 2016, 0 Comments
Feeling angry and completely heartbroken following the June 12th 2016 mass shooting in Orlando, my husband & I were talking and trying to figure out how to respond to this senseless, hateful act.
It is so easy to let anger turn to hate in those moments, but we both agreed that it would only serve to feed the very thing we were speaking against. The most powerful alternative was Love; fear & hatred can only be transformed by Love. And from Love this collection was born.
It's a small thing, but small things turn to bigger things when we unite, when we all stand together and celebrate our beautiful differences. I stand with my LGBT brothers & sisters to create equality, freedom, acceptance and respect.
I stand for Love. #LOVEWINS #LOVEISLOVE
Here are some of the unisex pieces I created:
They are sold at a deep discount to spread the word (and the Love). ONE THIRD of every sale is donated to this organization that does amazing work for the LGBT community, and truly, for everyone: free2luv.org

Here's a little bit more about them and their mission:
We hold hands with our partners to …
- create thought-provoking awareness campaigns
- support and produce community outreach events
- create a cool line of cause inspired merchandise designed to create change
Through our FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS BULLY® programs, we utilize music, impactful messaging and interactive storytelling to promote kindness, build self-esteem and help youth be more responsible citizens in their community. We have partnered with Clear Channel Outdoor and hit the streets and highways with our anti-bullying awareness campaign featuring the Champion Seattle Seahawks and Free2Luv Celebrity Ambassadors and Advocates. The FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS BULLY campaign invites the community to unite, take the pledge and use their collective voice for good.

Please join them and me to spread love and make our world our better place for everyone in it.
Beautiful necklaces in production, and a bunch ready to ship. The response has been great and let's keep it going!
