I recently had a small trunk show at the new Denim and Pearls in Galeburg IL. I am always amazed at the amount of support and interest people have in the line and in Hopes Song. Its such a good feeling to see a group of people come together for the same purpose and that is to share in the "Hope" the hope to continue to fight and to flush cancer down the toilet!
At this event a young girl came up to me and said that she had gone on to the site and read my story. She too battled thyroid cancer and wanted to meet another person who had gone through a similar situation. Its always nice to share your story with someone who can completely relate to the emotions and the changes your body goes through. The continous struggle to regulate your metabolism and hormones due to no thyroid can be grueling. Your emotions can go from high to low, your weight continuously fluctuates, and your sleep can be completely disturbed. You sometimes feel like a bit of a train wreck…. I spoke to her for some-time and at the end of our conversation, surprised her with naming a piece of the fall collection after her. To see the expression and gratitude on her face was priceless…it brought tears to not only her eyes but to mine and to one of the owners of the store. You know its sometimes the simple things in life that make the biggest difference. Though I only met her for a short time I was impressed with her positive attitude and just how kind-hearted of a person she is. I cant wait to share her words of “Hope” for the fall collection. Stay tuned……..
