I was fortunate enough to be able to write a piece for the blog "Who Needs A Cape?" in February 2013 to honor all the heart heroes and to raise awareness for congenital heart disease support and research:<br />

We've received an amazing number of orders since the day after Thanksgiving, so we held a 48-hour ornament marathon. 14 orders were filled — with a total of 20 ornaments — in a 48-hour period, thanks to the help of elves, big and small. There are another 40 orders behind these, so there will be no shortage of hustle and bustle in this little workshop, either. What an awesome blessing this journey has been and continues to be.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Most
of my blog "fans" know my history, but for visitors who don't, in
August 2005 I said both hello and goodbye to my firstborn — a son named
Ryan. He lived for just 54 hours and passed away from complications
stemming from congenital heart defects. We didn't know until his birth
that anything was wrong so it came as quite a shock to be told he was
not only sick, but that he could only survive with either a heart
transplant or a series of open-heart surgeries. Unfortunately he never
made it to that first surgery, which had been scheduled when he would've been just
four days old. <br /><br />In the nearly seven years since Ryan's passing,
I've struggled at finding peace with what happened to him and how my
life will never been the same. At times the path to healing has
presented other obstacles, making it even harder to accept how vastly
different my life is versus what I thought it would be. No one ever
expects to face this sort of tragedy so there is no way to prepare or
know where the journey to recovery and healing would lead. It can be
frightening and scary to face a new "normal" and to find a new place and
purpose in the world after your dream has been shattered.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">As
I've navigated my way through my grief and healing, I have discovered
that reaching out to other baby loss moms has been the most profound way
for my wounded heart to heal. Contrary to what many on the outside
would think, being surrounded by other women who've experienced a
similar tragedy is therapeutic in many ways. There's no need to explain
the "why's" behind the feelings that never quite go away and reappear
suddenly when least expected. There's no need for facades or having to
fib to loved ones' repeated question of, "Are you okay?" when you are
feeling like anything but "okay." It is a sisterhood like none other and
yet, it's a "club" that no one ever wants to join. But it also provides
a support system that could rival even the most renowned and seasoned
of therapists, because the only people who truly "get it" are the ones
who've walked this sometimes lonely and isolating path</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">During
last year's holiday season, a fellow baby loss mom shared an ornament
idea that struck an immediate chord with me. Most mothers who lose a
child cherish anything with their baby's name, myself included. We are
left with so few reminders of our babies that I just knew I had to make
two for a good friend — another loss mom — who was experiencing her
first major holiday without her twins. I had hoped that the ornaments
would be received well and soothe her aching heart ever-so-slightly, as I
wanted her to have something tangible that included her children's
names, as well as a way to honor their memory each holiday season when
she brings out the Christmas decorations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I
held my breath as she slowly peeled away the delicate blue and pink
tissue paper that held each ornament, not knowing how she would feel
about such bittersweet gifts. I was unprepared for just how well they
would be received, and thankfully my friend's teary expression conveyed
her gratitude perfectly and I instantly knew I had made the right
decision to give them to her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I
shared pictures of the ornaments and the story with an online support
group and was overcome by the positive response. Many of the moms from
that group wanted one to celebrate their own lost babies too, and before
I knew it, I had half a dozen requests, with offers to pay me to make
the ornaments!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It was truly a
labor of love to piece together these mementos and I took great comfort
in knowing they would be appreciated beyond words. And that's when I
realized I didn't want to this to be just a holiday project; I wanted to
reach out to other parents who have made this unexpected journey of
child loss, too. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Initially, I
didn't know how to turn this into a reality and to connect with other
parents on a broader scale. I decided to reach out to Robyn Bear,
founder of the "Remembering Our Babies" website and memorial boutique,
to see if there was an interest in these type of ornaments and to my
sheer surprise, she agreed the need was there and was happy to list them
among the other pieces in her memorial boutique.</span><br />
<br />
With
that, I've decided to redirect and relabel my business to include gifts
as well, and the addition of the ornaments is the official kick-off to
that endeavor.<br />
<br />
Each 2-5/8" glass ornament is filled with a
personalized tag which rests on a bed of white feathers. There is a
two-line maximum on the tag, with a maximum of 15 characters on each
line. Each topper ribbon includes a white iridescent ribbon, along with
the choice of another accent color (see image below). I made one for
Ryan and while it was a welcomed addition to last year's Christmas tree,
another loss mom shared that she hung hers by the window to catch the
sunlight, so they can be used beyond just the holidays.<br />
