Part 2 - (Read prior post for beginning of story) Mom passed and my grief was overwhelming. This beautiful thing healed my grief by giving me the ability to create with my hands and then connect with women over the jewelry. In the most indescribable way (which I have become more than accustomed to now) women would flock to me - sharing their most intimate hurts and pains. An exchange of healing would happen - I would heal them by sharing my story and through my blessed, healing crystal jewelry and they would heal me with their openness to share, connect and receive. It was the most beautiful exchange of energy. And it was elevating to all parties - in all ways.
Within months, LOVEthirteen had turned into a bit of sensation! It was really doing well and being received by all sorts of beautiful women. One person led to the next and one event led to another. Within these early months, we were asked to become a national vendor with Wine Women and Shoes - a stunning company that host incredible charity events across the country. Overnight, we were given a national footprint. LOVEthirteen truly had wings!
As life does, it changes quickly. And it did. Brian went through a devastating loss of betrayal by his family and his hugely successful company disintegrated leaving him broken from not only the loss of his family, but the loss of his life’s work and business. We lost our home and all the things that we knew as our way of living - homes, planes, and money. Here is where the glimmer in the eye of the Divine is so remarkable. Long before we could have ever known we were going to need something; it was already being given to us. We had something. We had LOVEthirteen. We decided in a deep and heartfelt moment to build something together - hand in hand, a family business bound and created by love.
