Kate, I can't even begin to say how much I love this whole project idea and especially the symbol you have chosen. I truly hope to be one of your first customers, assuming (which is a lot, as I'm sure you can understand) that I've got myself together enough to place the order on Monday. But even if I don't get in on time for the sweatshirt and sweatpants, I will be happy knowing that it means you sold out and you are off to a great start. I hope there will be other products in time (eg. notebooks - I LOVE notebooks, pens/markers, keychains, art prints, etc.) all including that symbol. I will look at that symbol and know that I'm not alone and there are so many of us that are also looking at it and understanding all that it represents.

Just an idea to throw out there - maybe your Salons could include art projects in addition to writing some day. It's just that some days writing is just too taxing for me but I can usually handle a collage which represents my feelings. If you don't think that's a good idea, would you be open to people attending just to be part of the community and not to share their writing?

I wish you all the things it takes for you to have a happy life, whatever those things are for you personally. Thank you for sharing with us all and taking care of us.

Can’t wait to snuggle myself into the sweats. Can’t wait for the possibility of a zip up hoodie so I can wear my anxiety badge wherever I go. Because I am most definitely possibly anxious at any given moment. I love that I finally feel part of a community after feeling so weird and outside for so long.

I love "tomorrow needs you"! And I love that it is on the sleeve so you can see it regularly.

I always knew there was a reason I liked to sign my name ~Cindy. Thank you for this insight. I may not be able to support you financially (fixed income and Hawaii, sweat pants not needed!) but I’m with you spiritually to cheer you on!!πŸ™Œ

So so so remarkably excited for this and thank you for sharing your heart and mind in every place it has been. This was everything β€œI need a beacon, a code, a flickering candle in the window that proclaims safety”.... truly a deep wish I have too, for me, for my students, for my sisters, for us all πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Thank you for sharing the notebook entries, it must have been overwhelming to rediscover them & revisit those times. I love that you found the absolute perfect symbol ~ after seeking it for so long. You have my continuing admiration & support as you start this new venture. πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
