There is a common saying that you've probably seen in meme form that's been going around for awhile ... might look something like this ...
I searched and searched for an attribution of this, and the closest I got was Norm Kelly on Twitter back in 2017. I did a quick Google search and discovered he is a retired Canadian politician (but lets not hold that against him! :) )
It's amazing how much traction this got, but not surprising in some ways. It really speaks to the hope that comes with making it through really shitty, hard things, and is something I'm often reminding my clients of.
So when Jeron, of iSurvived, reached out to share about his new project, I was intrigued. We hopped on a call and I learned all about Jeron and his desire to create a way for people to feel united in their fortitude, resilience, hope, and power.
In his own words:
"I started iSurvived after a conversation I had with a cousin of mine. So my creative juices started to flow and I decided to develop silicone wristbands to show unity amongst us. To represent this unity, I have created a collection of red (because it is my favorite color) and rainbow coloured (because I will be lgbtq+ inclusive) iSurvived wristbands. A portion of each sale will be donated to various charities that are important to me. It’s time we acknowledge and express our survival, even in the simplistic way of wearing a wristband. Whilst expressing yourself, you can take comfort in knowing you are paying it forward by helping others overcoming and finding their path to survival through the charities we support."
I am so happy to partner with Jeron and to invite you today to get your very own iSurvived wristband or other apparel (check out both the Shop & Special Edition links)!!
I personally love the coffee mug!
To strength, healing, and resilience,

Breaking the Silence
One of the many reasons it’s so difficult to break the silence is the many negative messages we receive about ourselves. It’s a wonder we ever tell anyone about the abuse. But tonight, even if you don’t share, come join us in breaking the silence.
