I'm incredibly grateful for the people who not only show up, but STAY, after a devastating loss. The 'real talk' is lifesaving talk. What a beautiful way to start my day, Brad...thanks for sharing such a wonderful post!
Kathrine! That's the absolute best. We've heard some of the coolest stories of strangers connecting over those shirts! So fun. Stay joyfully rebellious, friend.
Love this, Brad. I just met a guy on Etsy who makes hearts from different types of stone. He shares them with people who are struggling with suicidal ideation and was prompted to begin this by the suicide of a loved one and his own bipolar diagnosis. You would love his heart and his beautiful story of channeling his pain into something beautiful . I just wrote about him, too. Again…no sponsorship, just trying to support another kindred spirit.

This brought tears to my eyes, in a good way. I loved reading this story, an ordinary moment that turned into a deeper connection. It’s really got me thinking about how I participate in conversations, how with a tiny bit more presence it can really shift the gears from mundane to deep. Thanks for your work.
I was happy to read your essay today Brad! Too often we are looking down at our phones or just being in our heads...or even just staying in our homes, carrying worry, and being distressed. You've reminded me that I am not alone (I have a wonderful friend who has always been there for me, even when I thought that I didn't need anyone!)
(A few days ago I met a lovely lady in a shop, she started a conversation and I realized that we had much in common! It made my day and put a smile on my face!)

Absolutely, Deb. Grateful for hearts like yours, conversations like these, and the reminder that I'm far from alone.
So powerful! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

And you know I love any article of clothing that invites conversation! That's why I wear my lightning bolts and YAY!
Beautiful story! I’ve met people because of my JOY REBEL tshirt ❤️

Right back at YOU, Roger! Thanks for being here and being you.

The flowers have been in full bloom this week and I've been loving it. Incredibly grateful for you, Marc.
