They are also a direct representation of the work we have done, and continue to do, to stitch our lives and ourselves back together. There is no going back, but perhaps there is a new kind of beauty in the strength to move forward.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So powerful. Now, if you&#8217;re thinking you&#8217;d like to buy one&#8230;\u00a0 <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had offers to buy some of my ladies, but it felt a bit like a betrayal to sell something so intrinsically tied to myself and my experience.

There&#8217;s no minimum donation, but I do hope that you&#8217;ll give (very) generously. Just tell me you donated today (or any future day), and I will send you a lady. Requests for specific ladies will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis.&#8221;<\/em> Amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Found images &#8216;n embroidery&#8230; one of my most favorite combinations!
