Concise isn't my forte.

Without being too hard on myself,

I would like to share that I don’t feel like the best communicator. So here is some important information in the shortest way I know how to get the words out, bulleted:

Smile

The purpose of the Door Charms™️ is simply to bring a smile to your face.

As women, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We weren’t given the nick name helicopter mom for nothing - it was for damn good, hard earned reason. We just want our children to make it through life, unscathed, so they can rock us to sleep when we are old and dying like the mom in, I’ll Love you Forever.

Polish

Art is polish, kitsh is cute.

I want to be polished with the least amount of effort possible. And for the record, there is nothing wrong with cute. There is something inherently more valuable about fine art than decoration. Maybe it is the implication that it will withstand changing trends or that there is more of a story to tell. For me, it meant I didn’t need anything else, just a great piece of art for the front door.

Heart Ache

Experiencing highs and lows is to be Alive.

My origin story involves deep heart ache that I only had the capacity to feel because of my life experiences. Have you ever seen fear, anxiety and pain in your mother’s eyes? The person who gave you life afraid she will outlive you? I have, from an ambulance stretcher to a Duke Pediatric Medical Hospital bed, she was a picture of poise, and grace under pressure… but she was so scared.
